For a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, endowed with a magnetic potential $\alpha$, we consider the problem of restoring the metric $g$ and the magnetic potential $\alpha$ from the values of the Ma\~n\'e action potential between boundary points and the associated linearized problem. We study simple magnetic systems. In this case, knowledge of the Ma\~n\'e action potential is equivalent to knowledge of the scattering relation on the boundary which maps a starting point and a direction of a magnetic geodesic into its end point and direction. This problem can only be solved up to an isometry and a gauge transformation of $\alpha$. For the linearized problem, we show injectivity, up to the natural obstruction, under explicit bounds on the curvature and on $\alpha$. We also show injectivity and stability for $g$ and $\alpha$ in a generic class $\mathcal{G}$ including real analytic ones. For the nonlinear problem, we show rigidity for real analytic simple $g$, $\alpha$. Also, rigidity holds for metrics in a given conformal class, and locally, near any $(g,\alpha)\in \mathcal{G}$.
