What is the Mapp Engage API?

An API is used by two or more platforms to share information without the need for human intervention.
The Mapp Engage API makes it possible for you to connect any program to your marketing platform.

We employ a consistent scheme for our SOAP and REST API solutions. Feel free to decide which solution best fits your needs.
For an overview of the SOAP solution, see SOAP API. For an overview of the REST solution, see REST API.

Other API solutions and the previous REST and SOAP solutions are still available, however, these will no longer be extended or updated.
If you wish to continue using an old application that is based on these interfaces, please contact your customer support representative.

Authorization & Permissions

Both SOAP and REST API use HTTP basic authentication method
that does not require cookies or session tokens.

For this reason, there are no explicit login and logout methods.
Instead, the authorization header must be included in each API request.

The example header for 'test@test.com' user and 'test' password is following

Authorization: Basic dGVzdEB0ZXN0LmNvbTp0ZXN0


You should use the "API user" or "Hybrid User" user type for authentication.

To execute the API call successfully,
the API user account must also have required system permissions.

Host header

Some systems might require host-header

e.g :

Host: staging11.shortest-route.com
