User Verification service

App providers can use the User Verification service to confirm that the correct (paying) customer is signing in to the App. This confirmation takes place via two steps:

  1. The API makes a POST call to generate a verification token when the user launches an app within. Verification tokens expire after two minutes for security purposes.
  2. The app makes a GET call using the verification token that is sent by Xandr when the app is launched to retrieve the user's ID. Once the verification token is used to return a user ID, the token is deleted for security purposes.

REST API

HTTP Method Endpoint Description
POST https://api.appnexus.com/user-verification Create a new verification token.
GET https://api.appnexus.com/user-verification?user_token=USER_TOKEN Retrieve the user ID associated with a verification token.

JSON fields

Field Type Description
user_id int The ID of the user that generated the user_token on POST.
user_token string The authentication token that can be used to retrieve a user's ID.
