Products Resource

  • Minimum a search in all items of a shop AND a number of x shops is an absolulty must to build some useful aplications. Without that I always search all shops and there is no thematical focus possible. implemented
  • And: search only one shop or a list of shops! implemented
  • Why are the empty productItems delivered? implemented
  • group result items by Productname (or the like) example: when searching for "Goofy" results 5-8 are the identical shirt
  • Fixed standard image sizes
  • additional query filter: image size implemented
  • Searching for EAN implemented
  • Search only those programs that I'm applied for filter by a list of programs implemented
  • Topseller list per product category
  • ShippingAndHandling and ShippingAndHandlingCost implementation
  • Receive only products having ShippingAndHandlingCost defined

Programs Resource

  • To check the programs sales policies would enable traffic comparison sites to market zanox. (ie: If emailing marketing available, popups, incentivated sales, incentivated click, keword buying (Booleans would do for these fields)
  • I haven't checked what /programs returns, but we need a list of *all* programs (including those that are paused, stopped, rejected, etc.). This is needed to accurately detect programs that have "disappeared" from the active programs list. Note that we do not necessarily need the full details in this case, just a list of program IDs is enough.
  • How do I get program details with commissions that are actually valid for a given adspace? For instance the exact click/sale/lead amount(s), not min/max possible for the program.
  • What about the program status? e.g. paused/active
  • What about the application status? e.g. application open, active, etc?
  • New method to retrieve commission with the detail for CIDs
  • retrieve programs by sales region coming soon
  • program description not only in English but also in local language coming soon
  • long program description coming soon

Admedia Resource

  • it should be possible to get the standard text link to the homepage of a program (maybe using a special linkType, like in /admedia/program/xxx/linkType=999). This would be ideal for portals or cash back systems that want to present the on-line shop (e.g. in some kind of shop catalog). It's currently not possible to determine the default link to the homepage automatically. So guess work is necessary. implemented
  • Please loosen the query-constraints for admedia: the API should accept any ONE of the params format, ip, type etc at any (admedia) resource. Additionally it is important that only one parameter may be sufficient to be supplied to retrieve a result output. implemented
  • new method getAdmediaFormats() to retrieve all valid zanox admedia formats to be implemented as Enums in client libraries
  • new method for get Admedia: filtered by program category and format ordered by adrank desc. implemented
  • additional query filter: image size, height/width, see format filter
  • rename short name for admedium type JAVA to SCRIPT (JAVA is misleading because it is typically Flash or JavaScript)
  • add view tracking link to the result set implemented
  • add text value for text link in the resultset

Reports Resource

  • the reference sales/leads timestamp has to be GMT and not CEST/CET.
  • a Click-Report would be most useful. Should at least contain Referrer-URL, clicktime, Adspace, Admedium and Programm. implemented
  • I need for each prgramm a report with stats with clicks, views and coms for each day. implemented

Unsorted Requests

  • Where did the /ppv/ links go? How do we track impressions implemented
  • A "last changed" date for admedia would be most useful
  • Some way to get the "clickthrough URL" (i.e. the URL the /ppc/ link redirects to) would be most useful as well
  • Admedia language would be most useful for programs that span multiple countries with different languages, or countries with several languages (Belgium, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Singapore...)
  • Gzip compression for REST and SOAP would be useful implemented
  • Include the URI query parameter into the signature building for REST authentication
