IZEAx V1 API

The IZEAx API allows you to connect to your IZEAx Campaign data and content, as well as Creator data programmatically. Using this API you can enumerate your Campaigns and then retrieve information and metrics about the Offers in each one. You can use this API to understand cummulatice Creator performance across all your campaigns, and display Creator profiles in your own applications. Additionally, you can use the API to access your Content Groups and Assets managed by IZEAx’s ContentMine feature.

Authentication

In order to successfully call the IZEAx API you will need an Authentication Token. You can retrieve your Authentication Token in the API Keys tab of your IZEAx Account Settings. This token must be passed in an Authentication header of your request as shown below:

Authorization: Bearer: <token>

NOTE: We may need to enable the API Token tab for your account. Please reach out to your account representatives for access.

IMPORTANT: Your API Token is tied to your User and can access information for any Account that you can. Treat it like a password!

Authorization

Requests to the API are scoped to an Account so you must pass the ID of the Account that you want to access with your API requests. Your Account ID can be found on the API Keys tab of your IZEAx Account Settings. The Account ID should be sent with the X-IZEA-Account-ID header as shown below:

X-IZEA-Account-ID: <accountid>
