Obtaining Your Private API Key

Each request to measure installs and/or events must be authenticated. The authentication method requires a public key (Consumer Key) and signature seeded with a Private Key. These two keys are associated with a user’s single API Key.

• Private Key – This is the Private key that will be used to generate the signature on both the client and server but will not be included in the request.
• Consumer Key – This is the public key that will be included with each request so the Private Key used to create the signature can be identified. NOTE: Please contact your TUNE Sales Engineer to obtain your Consumer Key.

When the Measurement API receives requests, it will use the Consumer Key and Private Key to re-generate the hash and determine if the signature provided with the request matches the re-generated signature. Invalid requests will be rejected.
