    Article summary

    AdTraction is an affiliate marketing network that connects advertisers with publishers to promote products and services. It enables advertisers to reach a broader audience by partnering with publishers who promote their offerings on their websites or platforms, while publishers earn commissions for driving traffic, leads, or sales to the advertiser's website through their marketing efforts.

    Refer to AdTractions's official documentation to see all available endpoints from AdTraction's API version 2 or API version 3. Version 3 is used when certain endpoints are not compatible.

    Troubleshooting

    Data Preview Unavailable

    No data preview when you click on Test Data might be caused by an issue with your source configuration. The most common causes are:

    • Date range: Try a smaller date range. You can load the rest of your data afterward via manual data load.
    • Insufficient permissions: Please make sure your authorized account has at least admin-level permissions.
