Authenticating API Requests

All requests to Tamr Cloud APIs are authenticated using API key credentials, attached to a request in the X-API-KEY HTTP header. An API key is a token credential used to authenticate a particular user. Do not store API keys in insecure locations or log them in clear text. For example, do not include theX-API-KEY header in any request logging built around your API client.

Create and manage API keys for the Tamr Cloud API in the Admin > API Keys page in the UI.

Allowed actions:

  • Jobs and Schedules APIs: Users with assigned API keys can perform all operations.
  • RealTime APIs:
    • Records, Search, External IDs, Record History: Users with assigned API keys can perform operations allowed by their assigned roles.
    • Relationships, Queues: Users with assigned API keys can perform all operations.
