Step 1: Apply for An Account

Due to the premium nature of our demand partners, we make sure to vet each and every publisher or network that joins the Baseify platform passes a thorough review.

1. Review or gallery of solutions to understand what options might be a fit for a collaboration with Baseify, see here.
2. Navigate to our enroll page and fill out the details that will give us a full understanding of your business and opportunity.
3. Complete your application by clicking “register”, that action also is the acceptance of the binding contract between your company and Baseify. Make sure to read it here.

Step 2: Review and Notification

After the application form is received in our system, we will take time to review it. We use multiple factors to determine a fit. If we think there is potential, we will reach out for a skype or phone discussion to learn more.

We do not share reasons for rejection, but we do encourage applicants to re-attempt applying after there has been a noticeable change they can report from one application to another.

You will receive your confirmation \ rejection email to the email you applied with.

Step 3: Activation Code

Once you are accepted you will be getting an email that will include code for you to integrate with. The code will already include your CUID which is the publisher identifier each partner receives when they are accepted to the Baseify platform.

Once you have that email you can review the various technical documents in the remainder of this page for next steps to integrate.

Reporting Delivery

Each report can be accessed via:

• A daily email sent to the email you enrolled with

Frequency of Reports

Reports are populated daily based off of the confirmed sales and conversions reported to Baseify by our demand partners. Reports go out at 10 AM PST on a daily basis.

Please note, as Baseify depends on 3rd party revenue information reports are often incomplete on a daily basis, especially after and during the weekends or national holidays of various countries. It is best to review reports with the understanding that there will be significant changes after 72 hours.

Timezone

The Baseify database reports information based off of Pacific Standard Time (-08 GMT).

Baseify provides monetization solutions that allow users to search and shop via engaging ads.

The technology is integrated into a website or browser add-on via JS code injection, API or iframe placement. Once integrated, users can automatically find contextually relevant products on an ever-expanding database of online merchants and offers and experience true semantic search.

Parameters

Should be placed in the JavaScript:

• sid – An optional parameter which allows you to distinguish between different campaigns or groups. To use, replace the string “none” with a new value per each new campaign launched.
• name – Dynamically populates the user interface attribution, Ads by XXX. Must match the product name of the toolbar or add-on.
• mail – Dynamically populates the email in the description to match your support email, required for compliance.

Baseify’s APIs support multiple use cases that are particularly useful for ad networks and exchanges, these include:

• Search API, Complete (JSON Response)
• Smart Redirector
• Real-Time Bidding (RTB) API

When querying the Product Search API, you will need to include specific parameters described in the table below. Upon generation of the API requests, you can then extract the necessary data from the JSON document for the purposes of providing your users with a custom presentation.

Base URL

This redirect script allows the publisher to send Baseify a query URL or Keyword. The Query URL will be analyzed for product-related content, using natural language processing, if no quality result will be found Baseify will use the keyword. If the keyword does not return a result from Baseify’s demand, or if there is no keyword the “out” parameter will be fired (ideal for “waterfall” flows).

Request

cuid  – Publisher unique ID – 32 alphanumeric symbols length string, provided by baseify publishers dashboard

subid  – Additional custom id, performs additional tracking of campaigns. 1 to 32 alphanumeric + dash + underscore symbols  string, may accept any value

kw  – Search request. Should be URL-encoded. If source URL is not specified or contain no prospective data, kw value will be used as search query
