An API, or Application Programming Interface, is a set of defined rules that allow two or more software programs to communicate with each other. Advertisers can use the API to create and manage ad campaigns, while publishers can use it to manage sites and spots.
The API provides all the functionality available to users in the admin.trafficstars.com web interface, as well as several additional features that simplify working with large amounts of data and entities.
Advertisers can use APIs to
Manager campaigns targeting
Set custom prices for spots in ad campaigns
Pause, launch, and edit ad creatives
Publishers can use APIs to:
Create, edit, and view sites (applications)
Create, edit, and view spots on sites

The received access_token can be used for requests to the API as a Bearer token.
