Hi Team, Is there any expiration defined for the client id and client secret or these are with long term access? Thanks

Hey Team! How to regenerate access token in taboola ads

Dear Taboola support team. Yesterday I did oauth authentication and got a refresh_token. I used it to access the I accessed the following endpoint https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/oauth/token Then I got the error "User credentials have expired". I tested with a different refresh_token and got the correct access_token, so I think the client_id is correct. What are the possible reasons for the "User credentials have expired" error? I understand that after a year, I need to authenticate oauth again, but since I just authenticated oauth yesterday, I don't know why. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi I am trying to integrate Taboola with Azure Data Factory to build reports in Power BI. I noticed that the access tokens gets expire every 12 hours. If I wanted to automate the pipeline in the Data factory, I need to have a static access token. Could you please advise how can I get the static access token?

I am starting development of a daily backend service to run the campaign summaries api. I'm having a little trouble following the 4 authentication types and use cases. It sounds like the Client Authentication flow is what is preferred, but it only generates a 12 hour token for us meaning we would have to grab a new token everytime the application runs. We have typically used refresh tokens in the past for longer access tokens and a secondary service to refresh our token on a monthly interval. I am having trouble finding documentation on how to generate the initial refresh token to use with the 4th authentication method "refresh token". If we code the service to pull a new key based on the client id and client secret multiple times a day, will this be a problem? What are the daily key generation limits using the preferred method 1 listed in documentation?

Has anyone tried this and can provide information and recommendations? Which R package did you use? How did you go about it? I tried the httr package and used the code below: url = 'https://ads.taboola.com//backstage/api/1.0/[account_id]/campaigns/' r <- GET(url = 'https://ads.taboola.com//backstage/oauth/token', config = list(username, password, type = "basic"))) data <- r$content The account ID was not alphabetical, it was numerical. and the username and password are for the ad campaigns account. I did not get any media fields, even though the response showed 200 - which confirmed some sort of connection was made.

Greetings, We've worked with the backstage API a bit before, but for a new project, we had a sandbox environment set up for testing purposes. We are having difficulty getting our API call to work, and the errors that are returning are not at all helpful. I really wish the API responded with more information to help troubleshoot. If we use the numerical account ID provide by our account manager we get the following error: {http_status: 403, message: "Requested action is forbidden”} If we use the alpha string ID ie. "Your Account Sandbox Name" with letters and spaces we get the following error: "Bad Request" Our payload follows the JSON structure outlined here: https://developers.taboola.com/backstage-api/reference#creating-a-batch-of-campaign-items That is the method we are calling from our application, which submits the JSON object via an AJAX post. Here is a section of our code to show what we are doing: $url = 'https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/oauth/token'; $data = array('client_id' => $taboolaCID, 'client_secret' => $taboolaSecret, 'grant_type' => 'client_credentials'); $options = array( 'http' => array( 'header' => "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n", 'method' => 'POST', 'content' => http_build_query($data), ) ); $context = stream_context_create($options); $result = file_get_contents($url, false, $context); $taboolaAccessToken = json_decode($result)->{'access_token'}; $ch = curl_init('https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/'.$taboolaAccount.'/campaigns/'.$campaign_id.'/items/mass' ); $payload = json_encode($collection, JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, ‘Our Application Name'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $payload ); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array( 'Content-Type: application/json', 'cache-control: no-cache', 'Authorization: Bearer ' . $taboolaAccessToken )); $data = curl_exec($ch); $info = curl_getinfo($ch); curl_close($ch); Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
