Advidi offers in Voluum (11)

Advidi offers in Voluum

Hi,

Has anyone got a script to get all Advidi offers into Voluum?

So all offers including their different landing pages.

I can see that they have an API but I have never used it so I am hoping that someone has a script or tool available.

Thanks

Not sure if this is possible at all, large part of their offers need to be approved before you can run them, you need to modify links so they contain the required tokens ... on top of that, why would you import 1000s of offers that you're never gonna run, not sure what's the point of something like this.

It would help me a lot by being able to test offers a lot quicker.

I did forget(as you mentioned) that for a lot of offers you need approval.

And there is one more problem, when importing, I guess you would have to follow their structure and import the names too ... so goodbye custom grouping based on name structure that I'm using for example. You would import dead offers too and I'm sure there is no shortage of these in the list, or duplicates, or private ones, or capped ones ... it would be quite some mess I'm afraid.

I agree with Matuloo. At any given time networks have a thousand of offers or tens of thousands even available in their system.

But 90% of them are just bad, old, inactive, deprecated, etc.

Importing all that stuff in your tracker would be a complete mess.

Advidi has generally a lot of exclusive landers, it's an big advantage.

On our side it is indeed a pain to add and configure all the landings. It has happened to me several times to split tests without testing all available landings. Too bad.

The link "rotator" should be able to give information to link the conversion to the good landing, for the platforms using HasOffer the same solution would be great.

Yes they do have a lot of offers with great landers, that was the reason for my initial question.

I want to bulk test offers and their landers (some advidi offers have up to 20 different landers) and I therefore want a quick way to add as many offers (including their landers) in Voluum.

Ask your rep for an api key and you should be able to get an export of the offers list fairly simply, then just a case of bulk importing into Voluum

Terrible idea in practice though, you’ll almost certainly want to be checking every offer link to ensure it’s valid, differences between desktop and mobile etc...

When adding new offers I’m always really careful with setting the correct country, naming convention etc so it’s easy to find. If you bulk import it will just be a huge mess in my opinion, hours of scrolling to configure an offer

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Gave it some thought and it is a bad idea 😄

Will stick to.manually importing them.

All you need to change in the offer url is the c= parameter, so just duplicate the offer, make a small change in the title, change the c= parameter and that's it. You will create 20 copies within 5 minutes. And it's not like you'd be doing this daily, right?

About the API, there are trackers like Pixel K that work with the Cake API so that you can import offers directly into the tracker.
Although it sounds really nice I don't think it will help you that much.
Why do you want to add hundreds of offers when you only run a fraction of them?
And as already mentioned here, the problem when you add just all offers through the API is that you would have to follow the name structure of the network instead of your own.
I recommend you to just build a good relationship with your network and/or AMs and then ask them if they can set your account on auto approve.
Then you can quickly test offers without waiting for approval.
About importing offers in bulk into the tracker, I don't know about Voluum but for Binom you can just create a CSV file with the offer details like offer name, Geo, CPA network and so on and then you upload the whole file to Binom so that you can easily add dozens or hundreds of offers at once if you want to.
That all should be pretty much what you are looking for, not 100% automated but therefor you have full control over it.
