Bombora API

Getting Started

Authorization and Headers

• Ensure you have received API access from Bombora. You will receive an authorization key which will be a base 64 encoded string of username and password in the format of username:password
• Each endpoint requires this authorization key in the header.

• See documentation for each endpoint for complete header and request body.

Recommended Test

• To ensure your authorization and header are correct, we recommend you test the following endpoint:
  
  • Get Topic by Name or ID

Note: For the purposes of safety and security, we have limited the rate of allowed API calls to 60 calls per minute per endpoint. If you have exceeded the rate limit, you will receive a status code 429 response.

For example:

HTTP/1.1 429 Too many API calls to this endpoint in 1 minute time period. Try again later.
