===Introduction===

This page contains the technical (behind the scenes) details as related to our integration with [influenceFM]; as such, it is not intended to be used by our end-users.

===API===

The API currently available utilizes the HTTP GET protocol.

{{{{pull.aspx?'''x'''=influence&'''g'''=''APPCODE''&'''t'''=cust&'''f'''=json}}}}

This HTTP GET script can be accessed via:

{{{{http://traf.com/data/}}}}

====Variables====

The following variables are currently available:

* '''x''' (required) - The ''eXchanger''; the third-party product using the API... in this case '''influence''' or '''influencefm'''.
* '''g''' (required) - The ''group'' APPCODE; this is the APPCODE accessible from within the [Group] window (from the [Dashboard] using the [Settings] icon).
* '''t''' (optional) - ''Type'' of data (see below).
* '''f''' (optional) - ''Format'' of the data (see below).
* '''s''' (optional) - Filter to ''Station'' list.  This variable is optional; however, if included the resulting data will be limited to the list of call letters supplied.  If not included (the default), all stations are included in the result.  (This, of course, assumes that the data is "station-centric".)
* '''p''' (optional) - The "Pivot" date; the default pivot date (if not provided) for the data retrieved defaults to ''today''.  However, there are cases where the data being pulled for historical purposes is desired.
* '''n''' (optional) - Pull using "NET" numbers.  If not included (the default), the value is "true" (unless using a specific "gross" style, legacy, report).

((('''CS''' Please keep in mind that the following samples are "live" and are only available if one of our QA servers is actively enabled to return the following data.  If you find this to not be the case and need this to be so, please let know by either [SendSmile|Sending a Smile] or contacting customer service.)))
