Follow the steps below to use the CAL Client Audit Logs (CAL) API. An API that allows Index customers to retrieve log files for impression and bid event data. API:
|
|
CAL files are not generated by default. To start generating them, contact your Index Representative. Your Index Representative can also disable them for you if you've stopped using them. |
|
|
Complete authentication. Once you've started generating the logs, you'll need to complete authentication. |
|
|
Retrieve CAL files. Use the CAL API to retrieve your bid event or impression event log files using a two-step process. |
|
|
Review the list of fields in the Data dictionary to learn about your CAL data. |
|
|
Use the mappings service. You can use the CAL API's mappings service to retrieve the name mappings that correspond to your CAL file data. |
|
|
Use the exchange rate service. You can use the CAL API's exchange rate service to convert USD revenue measures in your CAL files into local currency. |
Note: CAL generation is automatically paused following a period of 35 days of inactivity with the API. This applies to authentication, file listing, and download routes. Hitting any of these three routes automatically re-enables data generation.
