Note that using the API requires certain technical skills.

What is Adtraction API

API stands for Application Program Interface meaning that you may interact with Adtraction’s platform using a set of endpoints without the need to use our user interface. As a partner you may create your own applications and automate tasks or reports with statistics that are crucial for your business.

Adtraction API v2 was created to deliver data and provide a comfortable, intuitive connectivity right at your fingertips.


Adtraction API documentation

At our API documentation you will find all required information with examples, console test tools, input and response attributes.

Our API documentation can be found here: https://api.adtraction.com/


Get your API access token

In order to get started you need to find or generate your unique API access token. The token can be found right inside your Adtraction account.

  1. Sign in to your Adtraction account

  2. Navigate to Account in the left menu

  3. Go to Settings

  4. Go to the tab API.

  5. Click on “Create new API token”

Once your token is generated and saved, you can start using all available endpoints.

Note: The API token must be handled with care and stored securely.


API Limits

Adtraction’s API limits are based on quotas / calls per minute. Most endpoints have 30 quotas per minute but some are limited to 10 quotas per minute due to the high load of requests. You can consult your limits in the response header.


Format of response and content type

All responses are in JSON format. The accepted content type is JSON.


Supported request methods

Each endpoint is restricted to a specific request method. Pay special attention to this, otherwise you will get a 405 error. You can always consult the endpoint method inside the documentation right at the beginning of the endpoint URL.
