AppsFlyer

This documentation for the AppsFlyer integration describes the technical capabilities of this integration, including authorization, scopes/permissions, and utilized endpoints. For more information on how to integrate AppsFlyer, visit our connection instructions.

Version

This integration utilizes the AppsFlyer OpenDSR API v1 and v2.

Base URL

The base URL used for all AppsFlyer API endpoints:
https://hq1.appsflyer.com/api/gdpr/v1

Endpoints Utilized

DataGrail uses the following endpoints to authorize and test the connection:


Authentication & Authorization

The DataGrail AppsFlyer integration connects using token authentication which requires an API Token.

Sensitive Credentials
Publicly exposing your API credentials can allow unauthorized access to AppsFlyer API endpoints by a third party. DataGrail stores your API credentials encrypted and protected.

Limits

Limits in AppsFlyer are calculated using the leaky bucket algorithm. All requests that are made after rate limits have been exceeded are throttled and an HTTP 429 Too Many Requests error is returned. Requests succeed again after enough requests have emptied out of the bucket.

  • DataGrail supports requests throttling to stay within 70-80% of specified service rate limits.
  • DataGrail processes API responses with HTTP 429 status to interrupt requests, waiting and retrying (using an exponential backoff strategy).
