Before you begin
Edit the array type of data
You can edit data on Affise via many API methods, however, some of them require specific knowledge to work with data correctly. One of such cases is editing data of the array type.
The array type's peculiarities are:
you need to remain (repeat) the settings of the whole array, which you want to save, in the editing request
you need to add new settings to the relevant array, if needed, while taking into account the previous point.
you need to delete the settings of the whole array, which you don't want to save, in the editing request. In case of other types of data (string or integer), data won't be deleted, if you don't repeat it in the API request for editing.
In this article, you will see several examples of editing the array type of data.
Edit a targeting group
Let's suppose, you have three targeting groups in the offer with the following settings:
General targeting group:
Countries: France, Spain, Netherlands.
Click-level anti-fraud is on.
Devices: mobile.
General targeting group.
Countries: France.
Click-level anti-fraud is on.
Allowed sub1 values: 123,323.
Personal targeting group for the affiliate #2.
Countries: Spain, Italy.
Click-level anti-fraud is on.
Parameters for these settings are:
🔎 Each targeting group is a separate array of data.
Let's suppose you want to change countries in all general targeting groups, add allowed sub1 accounts to the first general targeting group, and delete the personal targeting group. Other settings should remain.
Parameters for the API request are:
The cURL request for the example is:
curl --request POST \
--url https://api-rocketcompany.affise.com/3.0/admin/offer/1441540 \
--header 'api-key: 4sdf87fsdfd8723lkjhrn324' \
--header 'content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--cookie PHPSESSID=7u7eu0hds2parivvhl6nbicgj9 \
--data 'targeting[0][country][allow][0]=DE' \
--data 'targeting[0][country][allow][1]=BE' \
--data 'targeting[0][country][allow][2]=AT' \
--data 'targeting[0][device_type][0]=mobile' \

--data 'targeting[1][block_proxy]=1' \
--data 'targeting[1][sub][allow][1][0]=123' \
--data 'targeting[1][sub][allow][1][1]=321'
The request changes the following:
There is no personal targeting group (it is deleted).
Countries in both general groups differ from the initial ones.
Allowed sub1 values are added to the first general targeting group.
All settings we wanted to remain are saved in the offer.
