We are happy to announce that we recently launched a new category on our Offer Wall, namely PIN API!

Some of you might be familiar with it already and for others it's completely new. Therefore we will tell you more about this in our newsletter as well as providing a list of geos we are now live with. 

So, what is PIN API? 

The difference with general PIN Submit campaigns is that we host it internally at Traffic Company and all requests are being send by API. It's mostly interesting for publishers with their own apps or websites where they integrate offers through API and send out requests with MSISDN's and PINs. 

It looks a bit like iframe, however, with an iframe, the publisher creates the LP itself, but loads the submit button from another website into an iframe. In the case of PIN API, there is a code below the submit button, which is on the page itself. It reads the MSISDN or the PIN and ensures that it is sent to us.

So in short, with PIN API is it the same page/website/app which only includes a code that invokes our PIN API. 

How does this work.

First, the user enters their MSISDN (phone number) in the app/website. This depends, as it could be that the app detects and sends it through automatically. After that, we check if the user is previously subscribed or not and if this is not the case, we will send the PIN straight to the end-user's mailbox. 

Now the user can enter the PIN in the app/site manually, or, which is more likely with app, it will be pre-filled automatically. Once the app/site detects the PIN, it will be send to the TC PIN API where it fetches the stored data using the tracker and checks if it matches. 

After a successful check, the TC PIN API returns to the app/site whether the PIN was verified and accordingly we'll send a postback to the publisher to confirm the conversion.
