  • receiving, using a computing device that includes a hardware processor, a request for content related to a content item from a content provider system via an application programming interface, wherein the request includes a content identifier corresponding to the content item, a ranking parameter, and a token, wherein the token includes an application identifier corresponding to an application providing the request and a user identifier corresponding to a user account;

    determining, based on the application identifier and the user identifier, that the application providing the request has been authorized by the user account by comparing a pairing of the application identifier and the user identifier with authorized identifier pairings stored by the content provider system;

    in response to determining that the application providing the request has been authorized by the user identity, using the application programming interface to cause a recommendation engine to identify the content related to the content item based on the token and the ranking parameter; and
