    # Metricanic API


    Use the Metricanic REST API to manage campaigns, traffic sources, affiliate
    networks, landings, offers and rotators, and to read performance reports and
    individual events.


    Base URL: `https://panel.metricanic.com/api/v1`. Requests require an
    account-scoped Bearer key created in **Profile → API keys**. Use `read` for
    GET requests or `write` for supported mutations. Keys are intended for
    server-side integrations. Cross-origin browser writes are rejected.


    Start with the [API
    quickstart](https://docs.metricanic.com/api-reference/introduction), then
    follow the guides for
    [authentication](https://docs.metricanic.com/api-reference/authentication),
    [reports and event
    pagination](https://docs.metricanic.com/api-reference/reports-and-events),
    and [errors and retries](https://docs.metricanic.com/api-reference/errors).


    Only the operations in this specification are supported under `/api/v1`.
    Individual endpoint schemas define the request and response shapes. List
    endpoints do not all share the same pagination model. The product's OAuth
    MCP connection has separate, read-only capabilities.
