Overview

The Cardlytics API is based on the REST software architecture, which is lightweight and flexible. Our REST API uses standard HTTP requests like GET, PUT, POST, and DELETE verbs to manage CRUD (Create, Read, Update, and Delete) operations. Because the REST API is stateless, each request contains all the necessary information to complete the request.

Cardlytics API endpoints and webhooks all support JSON-encoded request bodies submitted over HTTPS. Note that Cardlytics requires Publisher traffic to originate from a static IP address or addresses and for that traffic to support mTLS over HTTPS.

You can use these APIs to create and modify customers, accounts and cards, portfolio enhancements, client events, and other data.
