The main provisions of REST API

advertising system.

Adskeeper REST API Request is an HTTP request which with the help of the ways in the URL the object to perform the action is specified, and  with the help of parameters the necessary data is passed. Adskeeper API is a "RESTful  Web API". The API uses the following REST commands:

  • GET
  • PUT
  • PATCH
  • POST
  • DELETE

The query parameters are case sensitive.

These commands correspond to certain actions within the Adskeeper system. Get an item or a collection of items (for example, a list of advertising campaigns): 

Command Action Description
POST Create Creates a new element (eg, a teaser)
GET Get (read)    Retrieve an element or a collection of elements
PUT Update Recreate an existing element or a collection of elements
PATCH Change Change certain properties of an element
DELETE Delete Delete an item or collection of items (eg, move a teaser to recycle bin)
Important! POST and PUT are not interchangeable. Each of the commands fulfills its specific function.

In general, the query looks like this:
https://api.adskeeper.co.uk/v1/module/controller/action?parameter_1=value_of_parameter_1&parameter_2=value_of_parameter_2&parameter_3=value_of_parameter_3

For identification the Adskeeper REST API uses a unique token consisting of 32 characters which is passed in the client’s request Authorization header. To obtain a valid token client should use a special API function.

Every request sent to the Adskeeper REST API must contain the API token

         "property_2_of_element_3":[
               "value_1_of_property_2_of_element_3",
               "value_2_of_property_2_of_element_3"
         ]       
     }
