summary: >-
  The Nativo API V3 authenticates with a per-user Personal Access Token presented as an HTTP Bearer
  credential. There is no OAuth 2.0, no OpenID Connect, no mTLS and no scope model — permissions are
  carried by the platform role assigned to the user the token belongs to. The BETA Ad Serving API is
  a separate surface with no documented request credential; access is provisioned out of band by a
  Nativo CSM.

  header: Authorization
  format: 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'
  example_from_docs: 'curl -X GET "https://api.nativo.com" -H "Authorization: Bearer yourToken"'
  issuance: >-
    Generated from the User Edit page of the Nativo platform, under the API Access section
    ("Generate Token"), re-authenticated with the user's own account password.
  binding: per-user
  rotation: >-
    Shown once at generation and never retrievable again. A misplaced token is replaced by
    generating a new one and disabling the old one. No expiry is documented.
  recommended_practice: >-
    Nativo recommends creating a dedicated API user rather than issuing a token against a person's
    login, for monitoring and control.

  applies_to: Nativo Ad Serving API BETA (https://jadserve.postrelease.com/adsver/api)
  in: n/a
  note: >-
    The published request examples carry only query parameters (visitor_id, user_ip, user_agent,
    page_url) and no credential. The docs state "Please contact your CSM to obtain access to the
    Ad Serving API" and that the target site URL must already exist in the Nativo system, so
    authorization appears to be by allow-listed site rather than by a request credential. Not
    verified — the endpoint was not called.
authorization_model:
  style: role-based, platform-side
  roles_published:
  - Organizational Admin
  - Campaign Manager
  - Campaign Editor
  - Publication Manager
  - Reports Only
  roles_source: https://ads.life360.com/legal/technical-organizational-measures
  scopes: none
  note: >-
    Permission failures surface as HTTP 403 with a descriptive message; the site-targeting search
    endpoint explicitly documents a 403 when a user queries an entity type their account cannot
    access.
