Quick Start
Get started with the ClickyID API in just a few minutes
Step 1
Get Your API Key
To use the ClickyID API, you need an API key. This key allows you to authenticate your requests and access the API securely.
First, you'll need to create an API key in your team dashboard.
- Navigate to your team dashboard and click “API keys”
- Click “Create API key” and give it a descriptive name
- Select the scopes you need (e.g., validate:offers, validate:target-groups)
- Copy and securely store your API key
Step 2
Make Your First Request
Offer Validation (Recommended)
Test your API key with email validation requests. Start with offer validation (most common) or target group validation. Validate an email against all target groups associated with a specific offer:
