Billing Key

A Billing API key is only available after your Publisher account has been successfully verified. Traffic generated with a Billing key is eligible for payment.

How Billing keys differ from Sandbox keys

	Sandbox Key	Billing Key
Available before verification	Yes	No
Traffic is paid	No	Yes
Purpose	Integration testing and traffic proof	Production traffic and revenue

Before you start

• Your Publisher account must be verified. See Verification.
• You must have an active platform. See Platform Creation.

How to create a Billing API key

1. In the Platform page, click the platform for which you want an API key.
2. Scroll down to the API Keys section.
3. Click Create API Key.
4. Fill in the API key creation form:
   • Label
   • Description
   • Permission Type — select Billing
5. Click Create.
6. In the next window, copy the API key immediately.
   • This is the last time the full key is shown for security reasons.
7. Confirm and close the key-created window.
8. The new key appears in the API Keys section list.

Security note

• API keys are shown in full only once.
• Store the key securely after creation.

Production traffic

Replace any Sandbox key in your integration with your new Billing key. From this point, all valid ad interactions generated through your platform are eligible for payment according to Adstract's revenue terms.

Revoking a Billing key

If you no longer want to use a Billing key:

1. Go to the API Keys section of the platform.
2. Find the key item.
3. Click Revoke in the far-right action column.

Next steps

• Continue to REST API Overview.
• Continue to Initialize Your Integration.
• If you are already integrated with a Sandbox key, simply replace the key value in your configuration.
