Authorization

string

(header)
ℹ️ The Authorization header is only required for previewing a channel in the Experience manager, not for regular public consumption of the API. Preview channel authentication is built into the Bloomreach SPA SDK. Channel preview works out of the box with any SPA built using the SDK. Only SPAs not using the SDK need to implement preview authentication.

When the Experience manager requests the preview channel for the first time, it appends the external frontend application's URL with a 'query' request parameter containing a JSON Web Token. In order to access the preview channel data through a Page Delivery API request, the frontend application must include this token in the Authorization header using the Bearer schema. See Delivery API Preview Authentication for more details.

Mandatory in Experience manager channel preview context only

Example:

Authorization: Bearer xxxxx.yyyyy.zzzzz

As of version 20220629, this header may also contain an anonymous UUID associated with a specific project for which External preview support has been enabled. In this case, the response will contain unpublished data associated with the specific project branch that is linked to the UUID value, rather than the currently published version.

Example:

Authorization: Bearer 56e7e6ca-1f62-4ea0-97ac-548a9025e301
preview-token

string

(request parameter)
As of version 20220629, this query string style parameter is available as an alternative to the Authorization header as described above. It provides equivalent functionality and is intended to support developer use cases where it is most convenient to access the Delivery API preview response without manipulating HTTP request headers. This can be useful for simple exploratory testing with a standard web browser, for example.

Example:

/delivery/site/v1/channels/brxsaas/documents/content/documents/brxsaas/articles/highlighted?preview-token=56e7e6ca-1f62-4ea0-97ac-548a9025e301
