Outbrain Integration

In this article, we’ll integrate an Outbrain data source with Y42.

Overview

Authentication: App Credentials
Settings: Historical Date selection, Account selection
Schema type: Fixed
Update Type: Full import
 

Authentication

Application credentials are strongly generated username:password combinations and have a one-to-one binding with a membership in the consortia. They are strictly isolated to the environment in which they are created and can only be used to access a node/service owned by the same membership that created the credentials.

 

Import Settings

By default, the historical date will be set to one year ago. Refer to your own store to decide from which exact date you would want to retrieve data.

Account pre-requisites

You will need to have an Outbrain Account and to retrieve your Account ID (or Marketer ID) before proceeding with the imports.

 

Schema

You can find a list of available API endpoints and their entities for this integration on Outbrain API documentation.

 

Updating your data

For this source you can schedule full imports. Every time the source updates it will fully sync all your data. You have the option of scheduling updates by the month, weeks, days, and even by the hour.
