Authentication

To work with the TargPatrol API, you need to authenticate every request. This requires a dedicated token generated within your TargPatrol account.

Generating a Token​

A personal API token is ideal for individual use or testing. You can include the token in the Authorization header like this:

Authorization: {personal_token}

How to Generate a Personal API Token:​

  1. Log in to your TargPatrol account.
  2. Access your organization.
  3. Navigate to Management -> External API.
  4. Generate and save your token.

For more detailed instructions, check out the dedicated article in our Knowledge Base.

Note: Tokens do not expire once created.

Authentication​

To authenticate, simply use your token. If you're testing with Swagger, copy your token and authorize it in the interface.

Using the Token in Integration Requests​

Alternatively, you can include the token in your request headers. Here's an example:

headers = {
   'accept': 'application/json',
   'X-API-Key': 'TOKEN',
   'Content-Type': 'application/json',
}

This approach works seamlessly for integrations and custom API calls.
