DSP Authentication¶

Important

For an overview of DSP authentication, refer to the steps outlined in Authentication.

To generate a Client ID and Secret, follow these steps:

Generate a JSON Web Token
Generate a JWT Access Token.
Make a POST call to this endpoint:

https://id.b2b.yahooinc.com/identity/oauth2/access_token

Sample CURL:

curl "https://id.b2b.verizonmedia.com/identity/oauth2/access_token" \
-X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-H "Accept: application/json" \
-d “grant_type=client_credentials&scope=dsp-api-access&realm=dsp&client_assertion
_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:client-assertion-type:jwt-bearer&client_assertion=

You access the DSP API using the access token.

CURL example:

curl "https://dspapi.admanagerplus.yahoo.com/traffic/dictionary" \
-H "X-Auth-Method: OAuth2" \
-H "X-Auth-Token: 3f94eb47-a295-4977-a375-e27bea5c828b”
