API Access and Integration on EZmob


Introduction

API access in EZmob allows advanced users and developers to programmatically interact with the platform's functionalities. This capability includes automating campaign management, retrieving performance data, and integrating EZmob features into external systems.



Generating Your API Key

To get started with API access, follow these steps to generate your API key:


  1. Navigate to your account settings by visiting API Settings.
  2. Click on the "Generate New API Key" button.
  • API Key Section(Add a screenshot of the API Key section with the "Generate New API Key" button highlighted)
  1. Label your API key for future reference and click "Generate."
  2. Your new API key will be displayed. Copy and store it securely.
  • Generated API Key(Add a screenshot showing an example of a generated API key, with a note to keep it secure)



Understanding API Documentation

To make the most of your API integration, familiarize yourself with the API documentation:


  • Visit API Documentation to access comprehensive details about available endpoints, request methods, and data formats.
  • Review the authentication process, request parameters, and response objects.



Implementing Authentication

To authenticate your API requests, include the generated API key in the request header:


Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
  • API Key in Request Header(Add a code block example showing how to add the API key to the request header)



Testing API Connectivity

To ensure your API key is working, perform a test API call:


  • Use a tool like Postman or run a cURL command in the terminal.
  • Example test endpoint: https://dashboard.ezmob.com/api/test
  • Check for a successful connection response to confirm your API key is valid and operational.



Monitoring API Usage

Keep track of your API usage by following these steps:


  • Return to API Settings.
  • Look for the "API Usage" section to monitor your requests and identify any potential issues.


Tip: Regularly review your API usage to stay within your rate limits and prevent service interruptions.



Best Practices

To ensure a smooth experience with the API, consider the following best practices:


  • Secure Your API Key: Treat your API key like a password. Do not share it and store it securely.
  • Rate Limiting: Be aware of rate limits to avoid service disruption. Implement retry mechanisms in your application.
  • Error Handling: Develop robust error handling to manage API request failures gracefully.
  • Monitor API Usage: Regularly check your API usage to identify unusual patterns or potential optimizations.



Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, refer to the following troubleshooting tips:


  • Authentication Failures: Ensure your API key is correctly included in the request header. Regenerate the API key if necessary.
  • Rate Limit Issues: Implement exponential backoff in your request retry strategy to handle rate limit errors.
  • Data Format Problems: Verify the request and response formats according to the API documentation. Ensure correct headers are set for content type.
