API Endpoint

GET  https://api-x.moengage.com/v2/email-templates?page=1

Each customer is hosted on a different data center; you can find your data center number (value of X) by checking the data center and API endpoint mapping page.

Authentication

Basic authentication sends a Base64-encoded string containing a username and password for all API requests.

Do the following when you are using the API for the first-time authentication:

  1. Navigate to Settings > APIs > DATA API Settings.
  2. The User name is the DATA API ID, and the Password is the DATA API KEY. Copy these two values from the dashboard.
  3. Basic Authentication encodes a 'username:password' using base64 encoding and prepends it with the string 'Basic '. The string is passed in the authorization header as follows:

{"Authorization":"Basic bmF2ZWVua3VtYXI6bW9lbmdhZ2U="}

Generate the authorization header using the DATA API ID and DATA API KEY in the format shown above.
