Create your API application

Once you have created your organization, you can access the MyApps page to start creating your application. This is also where you will be able to view and manage your Criteo API applications.

1. Start creating your API application by clicking on the "Create a new app" button at the top right corner of your page. This will initiate your application creation process.

Step 1 - Create application

1.1 - App details

• Provide a name for you application, alongside with an optional description and app image
  • Note: Deletion of API applications is not possible, once this step is created you will see the application in the "My Apps" dashboard.

1.2 - Authentication method

• Criteo's API supports two OAuth application methods, Client credentials and Authorization code. Each method provides different advantages, so before moving to the next step, we highly recommend reviewing which authentication method is best suited for your application needs.
