Does Taboola support OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Flow for SaaS integrations?
yesterday
Hi Taboola team,
We're building a marketing analytics SaaS platform that integrates with multiple ad platforms (Meta Ads, Google Ads, etc).
How we integrate with other platforms:
All our integrations use the OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Flow ("3-legged OAuth"):
- User clicks "Connect" in our dashboard
- User is redirected to the platform's consent screen
- User authorizes our app
- Platform redirects back with an authorization code
- Our server exchanges the code for access tokens
- This allows users to connect their accounts without sharing credentials - secure and seamless.
Challenge with Taboola:
Currently Taboola supports only the Client Credentials Flow, which requires:
- Users contact their Account Manager to get client_id / client_secret
- Users manually enter these credentials into our platform
This creates friction compared to one-click OAuth connections with other platforms.
Questions:
- Does Taboola support (or plan to support) Authorization Code Flow with a user consent screen?
- If yes, where can we find documentation and how do we register our app?
- If not, is there another recommended approach for SaaS platforms integrating on behalf of multiple advertisers?
Thanks for any guidance!
