Criteo Marketing Solutions

Prerequisites​

Before creating a Criteo Marketing Solutions credential, you need to create a Criteo application in your Developer Dashboard and obtain a Client ID and Client Secret. The Client ID and Client Secret are required to authenticate with the Criteo Marketing Solutions API using OAuth2.

To obtain your Client ID and Client Secret, you need to have a Criteo Marketing Solutions account with API access enabled. Once you have access to your account, you can create a Criteo application from your Developer Dashboard. Criteo Marketing Solutions uses OAuth2 2-legged authentication (client credentials flow) to authenticate API requests. The Client ID and Client Secret are used to obtain an access token from the OAuth2 token endpoint, which is then used to authenticate all API requests to the Criteo Marketing Solutions API. For detailed information about creating applications and OAuth2 authentication, refer to the Criteo Marketing Solutions API documentation.

Credential Name & Description​

  1. Enter a name for the credential in the Credential Name field and a short, meaningful description in the Credential Description field.

    Resource descriptions are recommended but are not required. They should be used provide information about the resource purpose, data freshness, etc. that can help the owner and other users efficiently understand and utilize the resource.

OAuth2 Authentication​

  1. Enter your Criteo App Client ID in the Criteo App Client ID field. This is the Client ID for the Criteo application you created from your Developer Dashboard. The Client ID is used along with the Client Secret to obtain an OAuth2 access token for authenticating API requests.

    The Client ID is obtained when you create a Criteo application from your Developer Dashboard. The Client ID is used along with the Client Secret to obtain an OAuth2 access token. For detailed information about creating applications and obtaining the Client ID, see the Criteo Marketing Solutions API documentation.

  2. Enter your Criteo App Client Secret in the Criteo App Client Secret field. This is the Client Secret for the Criteo application you created from your Developer Dashboard. The Client Secret is used along with the Client ID to obtain an OAuth2 access token for authenticating API requests.

    Keep your Client Secret secure and do not share it publicly. The Client Secret provides access to your Criteo Marketing Solutions account and should be treated as sensitive information. The Client Secret is obtained when you create a Criteo application from your Developer Dashboard. Criteo Marketing Solutions uses OAuth2 2-legged authentication (client credentials flow) to authenticate API requests. The Client ID and Client Secret are used to obtain an access token from the OAuth2 token endpoint (https://api.criteo.com/oauth2/token), which is then used to authenticate all API requests to the Criteo Marketing Solutions API. For detailed information about creating applications and OAuth2 authentication, see the Criteo Marketing Solutions API documentation.

Save the Credential​

  1. Once all of the relevant steps in the above sections have been completed, click the Save button at the bottom of the overlay to save the configured credential.

  2. The newly added credential will now appear in a tile on the Authenticate screen during data source/destination creation and can be selected for use with a new data source or destination.
