Introduction
How to use the Amplemarket API.
The Amplemarket API is a REST-based API that returns JSON-encoded responses and complies with the HTTP standard regarding response codes, authentication and verbs.
Production API access is provided via https://api.amplemarket.com
base URL.
The media type used is application/vnd.amp+json
Authentication
You will be provided with an API Key that can then be used to authenticate against the Amplemarket API.
Authorization Header
The Amplemarket API uses API Keys to authenticate requests. You can view and manage your API keys from the Dashboard as explained in the getting started section.
All API requests must be made over HTTPS to keep your data secure. Calls made over plain HTTP will be redirected to HTTPS. API requests without authentication will also fail. Please do not share your secret API keys in publicly accessible locations such as Github repos, client-side code, etc.
To make an authenticated request, specify the bearer token within the Authorization
HTTP header:
Limits
Rate Limits
The Amplemarket API uses rate limiting at the request level in order to maximize stability and ensure quality of service to all our API consumers.
By default, each consumer is allowed 500 requests per minute across all API endpoints, except the ones listed below. Users who send many requests in quick succession might see error responses that show up as status code 429 Too Many Requests
.
If you need these limits increased, please contact support.
Endpoint specific limits
