Add authorized origins
What origins are and how they work
Authorized origins are a security feature used to prevent unauthorized access to private data. Without this feature, attackers can easily steal personal information and do other malicious activities.
At Take API, an origin is mainly defined by its protocol, domain name, and port number if the website port is anything other than port 80.
The website sends requests to the TakeAds API only from the authorized origin. If any other origin attempts to access the API, the request will be blocked as it doesn’t match the allowed origin.
-
To safeguard against unauthorized access, TakeAds requires that the website register a specific authorized origin with their API. This authorized origin is usually the domain name for the web application.
In this case, the authorized origin might be "https://www.example.com", which is the domain name for the website.
Authorized origins are also used in other web applications and services, such as cross-origin resource sharing (CORS), which allows a website to request resources from a different domain. In this case, the authorized origin is used to determine which domains are allowed to access the resources and prevent unauthorized access.
In summary, origins are required for websites to allow access to their resources only to authorized sources and prevent malicious activities. Without origin restrictions, servers will be vulnerable to various security breaches and attacks.
Adding an origin
To add an origin:
1. Insert the address of the origin in the Origin field.
Examples of origins:
- For a website: https://www.example.com
- For a website with a port other than 80: https://www.example.com:8080
- For a Chrome extension: chrome-extension://extension_id
2. Click Add.
Done! The origin has been added.
You can add the origin to a previously created platform. To do so, click My platforms in the side menu and find the one where you need to add an origin. Click and follow these instructions.
