Advertiser Reporting API

Use Cases

The API described on this page is for fetching reports.

• All dates and data are calculated in the EST timezone.

• All monetary values are in dollars as decimals.

• Please allow for long timeouts for each request as responses are not instant.

• Reports are updated approximately every half hour, so requesting the same report within that timeframe will return the same result set.

API

Method: GET Base URL: https://api.adgatemedia.com/v1/advertiser/report

Required Parameters

Parameter	Description	Type	Example
adv	Your advertiser ID. Can be found on the Reporting API page.	Integer	60000
api_key	Your API key. Can be found on the Reporting API page.	String	941bd1fecf7e6596823b895e04df3a0c
start_date	Start date of report in mm-dd-YYYY format	String	01-30-2020
end_date	End date of report in mm-dd-YYYY format	String	02-01-2020

Optional Parameters

Data Column Grouping

The data columns to display and group data by.

Example: &data[]=offer_id&data[]=aff_id.

Value	Description
aff_id	The affiliate/publisher ID
offer_id	AdGate's internal offer ID (default)
offer_event	Offer event name*

os	Operating System
device	Device
s1	SubID 1
s2	SubID 2
s3	SubID 3
s4	SubID 4
s5	SubID 5

(*) Offer events: because the offer event is only known upon conversion and does not apply to clicks, the click counts are duplicated for each offer event. For example, if an offer gets 10 clicks, each offer event in the report will display 10 clicks. Furthermore, if there are only clicks and no conversions, expect the offer_event to be null. We may remove results without conversions in the future.

Date Interval Grouping

Group response by specific time periods.

Example: &intervals[]=m&intervals[]=dt

Value	Description
m	Month
dt	Day
h	Hour

Filters

Request to only include reports that match certain criteria. Separate multiple values for each filter using commas.

Example: &filters[offer_id]=11045,112340

Value	Description
offer_id	Filter by specified offer IDs
country	Filter by specified countries using ISO standards (&filters[country]=US,GB)
s1	Filter by SubID 1
is_mobile	Filter by mobile/tablet traffic. Use 0 for desktop traffic, 1 for mobile/tablet traffic only.

offer_impressions	Include offer impression data
user_impressions	Include user impression data

app_id	Include App ID value in addition to offer ID
offer_wall_position_avg	Include the average position of an offer on the offer wall for the given data set
