Authentication

In order to use the Daisycon API you will need to have an advertiser or publisher account (or both). If you don’t already have an account, you can visit Daisycon.com to create an account.

Basic access authentication over HTTPS
Our API supports authentication using basic OAuth over HTTPS.

Example using Curl:
curl https://services.daisycon.com:443/categories -H “Authorization: Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQ=”

or

curl https://services.daisycon.com:443/categories -u username:password
