### API Username

\
API Username is your unique identifier that authenticates your DotDigital account for API access. DotDigital uses this username along with your password to validate your identity and authorize EdgeTag to send events to your account. When EdgeTag sends events to DotDigital's Insight Data Collections API, this username is included in the Basic Authentication header to authenticate the request and ensure events are routed to the correct account.

**Where can you find the API Username in DotDigital?**\
Please follow the steps mentioned here: [Onboarding](/channels/dotdigital/onboarding.md#steps-to-get-api-username-and-api-password)

### API Password

\
API Password is a secure authentication token that validates your identity and authorizes EdgeTag to send events to your DotDigital account. This password, combined with your API username, ensures that only authorized applications can send events to your DotDigital account, protecting your data and preventing unauthorized access. EdgeTag includes this password in the Basic Authentication header of every HTTP request to DotDigital's API to authenticate the request and prove that the events are coming from your authorized integration.
