This describes the official Adcloud API. If you have any problems or requests please contact [email protected].
To use the API you need a client_id and client_secret provided by Adcloud. With this your client can generate an access token that is necessary for every request. At the moment access tokens expires after 2 hours.
Send a POST request to the following url including your client_id and client_secret:
https://api.adcloud.com/v1/oauth/access_token
$> curl -X POST -d "client_id=<CLIENT_ID>&client_secret=<CLIENT_SECRET>&grant_type=none" "https://api.adcloud.com/v1/oauth/access_token"
The response will look like this:
{"access_token":"<ACCESS_TOKEN>","scope":""}
Send a GET request to the following url, including your access_token and a date filter:
https://api.adcloud.com/v1/reports/advertiser
$> curl "https://api.adcloud.com/v1/reports/advertiser?access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>&filter[date]=<FILTER_DATE>"
Or do it via HTTP Header:
$> curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" "https://api.adcloud.com/v1/reports/advertiser?filter[date]=<FILTER_DATE>"
The response will look similar to this:
{
"collection" : {
"first_url" : "https://api.adcloud.com/v1/reports/advertiser?access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>&filter%5Bdate%5D=<FILTER_DATE>&page=1",
"last_url" : "https://api.adcloud.com/v1/reports/advertiser?access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>&filter%5Bdate%5D=<FILTER_DATE>&page=232",
"next_url" : "https://api.adcloud.com/v1/reports/advertiser?access_token=<ACCESS_TOKEN>&filter%5Bdate%5D=<FILTER_DATE>&page=2",
"prev_url" : null,
"per_page" : 200,
"size" : 11955
},
"result" : [ <report_data_item>, <report_data_item> ],
"status" : 200
}
