A comment zone to introduce your company
According to your type of business, you will be in a position to report Content consumption to your Sellers or Buyers. iKast proposes different mechanisms to that end by using technical Connectors to fetch data. These Connectors connect your back-end systems, directly or indirectly with iKast and guarantee data origin and values.
Different levels of integration are available, using different Connectors:
A direct access to the video player, best integration level. Called Direct (Player);
A connection to 3rd party data monitoring systems like Nice People At Work's Youbora service. that use their API to extract data and populate iKast's data vault. Called Indirect (NPAW) for example (more integrations to come);
Direct API calls from external to a dedicated iKast.io endpoint, called Direct (API);
CSV based flat files are to be ingested directly in iKast's data vault, called Raw (File).
These different workflows have a different level of trust regarding data safety and validity. Your level of reporting integration has been tested and validated at the creation of your account by your account manager and will apply some extra parameters (API keys) to work properly.
