To access the Poplar API you'll need to use either a Test or Production Access Token. These can be found and generated on the page of your account:
Never give your Access Token to a third party
Your Access Token can give access to your private Poplar data and should be treated like a password. If you believe your Access Token has been compromised then it can be Revoked.
To use your Token, simply provide it as part of the authorization header when you make a request. Tokens use the bearer authorization header when you make a request.
If you are using any of our client SDK's then this process is automated during initialization. This means that you do not need to specify this header explicitly.
When creating a new access token, you have the option to create a production or test access token.
Test tokens ONLY work for the mailings endpoint. To test other endpoints use a production token.
Test access tokens are intended to support the testing of API integrations and can be identified by the test prefix. When using a test token, mailings will be generated in your account however they will not be mailed.
From your campaigns History tab, you can easily filter between test and production mailings:
