Authentication
The Event API leverages the Auth0 approach to client integration. See Auth0 Credentials Flow for more details. You will need to use your Rokt Client ID and Client Secret to obtain these credentials. Your Account Manager will provide you with these prior to integration.
To call any endpoint on the Rokt Event API, an access token is needed. Access tokens allow Rokt to identify client apps, the type of data that each client app is accessing, and prevent malicious apps from accessing data that they do not have access to.
When To Call
Call this endpoint to generate an access token which will allow you to interact with the Event API for one hour. If you will need to continue interacting with the API for over an hour, you will need to call this endpoint again to get a new access token.
