Tips for Correct Usage
- Access the API methods via HTTPS to take advantage of the security inherent to this protocol.
- Always include auth_token as a query string parameter — even for POST, PUT, and DELETE method calls. To learn how to create and manage API keys, see API Keys.
- The HTTP protocol is not designed for socket connections that remain open for extended periods. There is an inherent time-out that all web servers observe. For this reason, REST is not normally appropriate for retrieving a vast amount of data out of Maropost for Marketing. Consider using Data Journeys for automated bulk data imports and exports instead.
- Use the streaming API option for bulk data retrieval that can only be obtained through API.
