Nimble APIs Authentication

Nimble API uses Basic access authentication on every request. Use your Nimble Admin API credentials to generate a base64 encoded credential string before making requests. Your account manager will provide you with your credentials when your account is opened.

To generate a credential string, use the following syntax:

base64(username:password)

For example, for the username [email protected] and the password pass123, the following credential string would be generated: dXNlckBuaW1ibGV3YXkuY29tOnBhc3MxMjM=

This credential string is then applied to the header of every request in the following form:

Applicable for all API Endpoints - Web, SERP, Maps, eCommerce and Social

cURL

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.webit.live/api/v1/realtime/web' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic dXNlckBuaW1ibGV3YXkuY29tOnBhc3MxMjM=' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    // add your parameters here
}'

Python

import requests

url = 'https://api.webit.live/api/v1/realtime/web'
headers = {
    'Authorization': 'Basic dXNlckBuaW1ibGV3YXkuY29tOnBhc3MxMjM=',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
data = {
    # Add your parameters here
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)

print(response.status_code)
print(response.json())

Node.js

const axios = require('axios');

const url = 'https://api.webit.live/api/v1/realtime/web';
const headers = {
  'Authorization': 'Basic dXNlckBuaW1ibGV3YXkuY29tOnBhc3MxMjM=',
  'Content-Type': 'application/json'
};
const data = {
  // Add your parameters here
};

axios.post(url, data, { headers })
  .then(response => {
    console.log(response.status);
    console.log(response.data);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error(error);
  });
