RTB Inbounds API

View as Markdown

RTB Inbounds is the log of inbound Real-Time Bidding reservations: one row per RTB ping your campaigns received, whether it was claimed, expired, rejected, or found no target. It is the same data as the RTB Dashboard in your account.

This endpoint returns a live, filtered page of recent rows. To pull a large historical range as a single file, use Exports instead.

Fields

Swipe horizontally to view full table
Field Description
call_uuid UUID of the Call this reservation belongs to — the join key back to Calls. It is not the same value as this reservation’s own uuid. Not every reservation results in a Call (a rejected or no-target ping, for example); when there is none, this is the all-zero UUID, not null.
uuid This reservation’s own identifier.
affiliate_id / campaign_id / target_id Retreaver’s internal IDs for the publisher, campaign, and target.
status One of expired, claimed, no-target, rejected (plus some internal Ping Shield statuses).
revenue / payout Dollar amounts for this reservation.
time_to_resolve Seconds between the ping and its resolution.
duplicate_original_uuid UUID of the original reservation this one duplicates. Otherwise the all-zero UUID, never null.
pbm_* Present only when Payout Bid Modification is enabled for the campaign’s company.

Note

UUID fields on RTB Inbounds and their Exports are never null. An absent UUID is always the all-zero sentinel 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000, so compare against that string rather than checking for null or blank.

List RTB Inbounds

curl "https://api.retreaver.com/api/v5/rtb_inbounds.json?api_key=[api_key]&campaign_id[]=123&created_at=last_7d"
Swipe horizontally for full code

The above command returns JSON structured like this:

{
  "rtb_inbounds": [
    { "call_uuid": "3d745a09-6e2b-4b8f-9e7d-9a2f6a9d9d21", "uuid": "8f0a2d13-9d3a-4b3e-9a7a-6b8e4b9d9a21", "status": "claimed", "revenue": 12.5, "payout": 8.75 }
  ]
}

Each element is an RTB Inbound object, abbreviated above. Results are always returned 100 per page; per_page is not configurable on this endpoint. Like every paginated index in this API, responses carry a Link header — see Paginated.

You can only filter by IDs (campaign, affiliate, target, postback key) your api_key’s account already has access to. Any other IDs are silently dropped from the filter.

HTTP Request

curl "https://api.retreaver.com/api/v5/rtb_inbounds.json?api_key=[api_key]"
Swipe horizontally for full code

The endpoint is versioned like the rest of the API; v2, v3, v4 and v5 all serve the same data.
