Publish Client Settings

Endpoint URL: {registrationDomain} /settings/widget/publish

Description

Publishes API client settings to a JSON file available for client-side use with the Registration UI; this allows settings to be loaded prior to any server-side calls. Published client settings are typically used to support a configurable minimum age requirement for registration or for tracking user acceptance of different terms of service and privacy policies on a per-site basis.

The settings to be published for an API client are configured in an additional setting called jump_publish_settings. In order for the Registration UI to load the JavaScript file where these settings are published, the hasSettings JavaScript setting must be set to true.

How to Create an Authentication String

To create an authentication string, combine your API client ID, a colon (:), and your client secret into a single value. For example, if your client ID is abcdefg and your client secret is hijklmnop, that value would look like this:

abcdefg:hijklmnop

Next, take the string and base64 encode it. For example, on a Mac, you can base encode the string using this command:

echo -n "abcdefg:hijklmnop" | base64

If you’re running Microsoft Windows, you can encode the string by using a Windows PowerShell command similar to this:

[Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes("abcdefg:hijklmn"))

The resulting value (e.g., YWJjZGVmZzpoaWprbG1ub3A=) should be used in your authentication header.

If you are making API calls using Postman, select Basic Auth as your identification type, then use the client ID as the username and the client secret as the password.

Before you actually try your authentication string, make sure that your API client has the all the permissions (for example, the right to read user profile information) needed to complete the API call.
