Authenticating panelists

Pureprofile APIs allows the authentication of existing panelists. This allows for password-less authentication directly using the access_token and the user identifier used to initially register the panelist.

Read the following sections for more detail.

Authenticate a panelist

In order to authenticate a new panelist you must provide the unique id (email, uuid, etc) that was used during the registration of the panelist.

The system will crete an access_token that can be used to access the Panel API. Below is a sample for authenticating and existing panelist:

cURL

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.sandbox.pureprofile.io/v1/partner/panel/authenticate' \--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \--header 'Accept: application/json' \--header 'Authorization: Basic <credentials>'--data-raw '{    "user": "<user>"    "panel": "<panel>"}'

Node

var axios = require("axios");var data = JSON.stringify({  user: "<user>",  panel: "<panel>",});var config = {  method: "post",  url: "https://api.sandbox.pureprofile.io/v1/partner/panel/authenticate",  headers: {    "Content-Type": "application/json",    Accept: "application/json",    Authorization: "Basic <credentials>",  },  data: data,};axios(config)  .then(function (response) {    console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data));  })  .catch(function (error) {    console.log(error);  });

Python

import requestsimport jsonurl = "https://api.sandbox.pureprofile.io/v1/partner/panel/authenticate"payload = json.dumps({    "user": "<user>"    "panel": "<panel>"})headers = {    'Content-Type': 'application/json',    'Accept': 'application/json',    'Authorization': 'Basic <credentials>'}response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)print(response.text)

Go

package mainimport (    "fmt"    "strings"    "net/http"    "io/ioutil")func main() {    url := "https://api.sandbox.pureprofile.io/v1/partner/panel/authenticate"    method := "POST"    payload := strings.NewReader(`{        "user": "<user>"        "panel": "<panel>"    }`)    client := &http.Client {}    req, err := http.NewRequest(method, url, payload)    if err != nil {        fmt.Println(err)        return    }    req.Header.Add("Content-Type", "application/json")    req.Header.Add("Accept", "application/json")    req.Header.Add("Authorization", "Basic <credentials>")    res, err := client.Do(req)    if err != nil {        fmt.Println(err)        return    }    defer res.Body.Close()    body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body)    if err != nil {        fmt.Println(err)        return    }    fmt.Println(string(body))}

The response of this API contains an access_token that can be used to access all Panel API endpoints:

{  "access_token": "<access_token>",  "expires_in": 3600,  "token_type": "Bearer"}
