API stands for Application Programming Interface and is a connection between computers or between computer programs.
In contrast to a UI (user interface), which connects a computer to a person, an API connects computers or pieces of software.
WARNING: API tokens allow access to the domain code. APIs are not intended to be used directly by individuals (end users). Only a programmer or developer should use APIs, when they need to implement the Acquia Optimize API on other applications or CMS systems, for example.
Always verify the user identity and role before sending out an API token to an individual.
Acquia Optimize supports API use. The API can be based on the customer's location. Our API list is kept up-to-date on the following article:
Acquia Optimize for Developers API
To use our API, your application has to present user credentials (the token) in an authentication software program (such as Postman). The API user account can only be used for API access. It is recommended to create a new user account specifically for this purpose and assign the API user scope to it via the free-text field.
This capability is not yet available to all customers. Contact support if you would like to implement API Users for your website.
