2.0 Enterprise URL

This version of the API is accessible from the following URL; at this point, there is a single entry point for all requests:

3.0 Usage & Examples

3.1 Prerequisites

All Publisher users have access to the Convertr Publisher API by default.

These can be found by logging into the Convertr Platform and selecting View next to your Publisher Name, selecting the Tracking Icon  under the Actions column, and selecting the API Credentials Tab. This will bring up the Tracking Modal which contains all the information you will need to set up your API.

3.2 Authentication Token

In order for you to query the API, all requests must be sent with an authentication token.

This needs to be requested from the following URL using a POST request. Once the token has been returned, it will expire after 60 minutes.

3.3 Form Fields Endpoint
