Secure your data with Tango API

To take full advantage of our Tango API resources without security concerns, we recommend you to establish a secure connection to the Tango API.

We support the following methods to add security to the Tango API:

• Open Authorization (OAuth) 2.0—OAuth 2.0 is a secure way to call API. It asks for your Client ID and Client Secret to establish a secure connection with API without sharing your password data. OAuth is more about authorization than authentication, using authorization tokens to verify your identity.

  📘

  Note:

  Tango API OAuth 2.0 is currently available on a limited release. Contact your Customer Success Manager (CSM) or [email protected] for more information, or to have this feature added to your production account.

• Basic Authentication —Basic Auth is all about authentication. It identifies you as the correct person with the online account credentials. Basic Auth requires your credentials to gain access to your platform.

OAuth authorization provides:

• the most secure connection while keeping your credentials safe.

• the ability to rotate credentials with no downtime.
