Understanding Endpoint Actions

What are Endpoint Actions?

An action is an abstract description of an operation supported by the endpoint.

If an action’s endpoint is bound to a model, then it may request data underlying that model.

If an action’s endpoint is not bound to a model or not, then it may perform an another service instead that excludes data access.

Calling an Endpoint Action

Defining an action is by adding a functional request + query string parameters following the endpoint’s path:

• Action name must be in lowercase, for example /find
• Action result is transposed to JSON by adding .json
• Required parameter for any action is either:
  • Account provided API Key (32 characters long string) and assigning it to Parameter api_key.
    For example: &api_key=aaaabbbbccccddddeeeeffffgggghhhh

Example MAT/API request with action and api_key:
https://api.mobileapptracking.com/v2/advertiser/accounts/find.json&api_key=aaaabbbbccccddddeeeeffffgggghhhh

Endpoint Action’s Parameters

An action’s parameters defines the request to be serviced by its controller.
