Obtaining a user authentication key

Before you can configure a Digital Analytics API URL for a trended Top Line Metrics report, you must submit a request for a user authentication key. After the API returns the authentication key, you can add the key value to the userAuthKey parameter in your API URL.

1. Modify the following URL to include your user account information: client ID, user name, and password.
   Note: The URL shown here is broken into multiple lines for readability. The actual URL does not contain line breaks. Use the appropriate IBM® Digital Analytics service domain name for your organization.

   https://welcome.coremetrics.com/analyticswebapp/api/1.0/
   userAuthorizationKey?clientId=client_id
   &username=username&password=production-password&format=json

2. Paste the URL into your web browser and press Enter.

   The Digital Analytics API returns an authentication key for your user ID.
