Request an Access Token

1. Request an Account ID and a Secret key from LiveRamp.

You need your account credentials to obtain an access token. Contact your LiveRamp Service Account representative for your username (Account ID) and your password (Secret Key). You should receive a JSON file that includes those credentials. If you need a LiveRamp Service Account, please reach out to your account manager.

2. Submit a request for an AbiliTec API access token.

curl https://sso.liveramp.com/oauth2/default/v1/token \
  -d grant_type=password \
  -d username="$ACCOUNT_ID" \
  -d password="$SECRET_KEY" \
  -d scope=openid \
  -d client_id="liveramp-api" \
  -d response_type=token

add python example

Your access token request includes the following parameters.

If the access token request is valid and authorized, the token server issues the access token in the format shown below:

{ "access_token":"<access token>","token_type":"Bearer","expires_in":600 }

Use the access_token from the response to authorize AbiliTec API calls.
Authorization: Bearer ${access_token}

🚧

About access token expiration

Access tokens expire quickly. See the expires_in value for the time limit. The example above shows 10 minutes (600 seconds). To insure that calls to AbiliTec API endpoints are successful, set up an automated way to fetch new access tokens.
