Setup

A checklist to get your app ready in the dashboard. Create your account, choose how you'll integrate, then set up your app for that path.

1. Create your account​

Don't have a TapResearch account yet? Sign up — it's quick. Choose the Publisher/Developer option. You'll need an account and an API token to integrate.

Finish account setup

Account approval typically takes a few business hours.

Waiting for review?

We typically review new accounts within a few hours. Need access sooner? Email developers@tapresearch.com.

2. Choose your integration​

Decide how you'll integrate before you create your app — your choice determines how the app is set up. Compare the four paths and pick the one that fits your product.

3. Create your app​

Create your app from the Supplier Dashboard and select the integration path you chose above. That configures the app correctly for you behind the scenes.

  • SDK — select each platform you ship on (iOS, Android, or both). Each platform gets its own API token, so use the matching token in each build.
  • Hosted Link, Eligibility API, or Survey Feed API — one app is all you need. The link or endpoint is the same across every surface (mobile and web), so a single app and token covers them all.

You can create separate apps for different paths.

4. Configure app settings​

  • Colors — primary and secondary action colors for the survey wall (HEX codes).
  • App Store identifier — set it now, or leave it blank and fill it in later.
  • Callback URL — optional; called when a user completes a survey (each platform has its own, but they can share a value). See Callbacks.

5. Add a currency​

A currency is required before you can create a placement. Set its name, display name, image, exchange rate, and (recommended) a profile reward.

6. Create placements​

Placements are the slots where your content appears. Three defaults are created automatically; add more as needed and reference each by its code tag.

7. Add a test device​

Until you go live, only test devices can access content — add one before you test.

→ Testing

8. Build your integration​

Now that your app is set up, follow your path's guide to build it.

→ Choose your integration

9. Test and go live​

Verify everything in test mode, then promote your app to live.

→ Testing

Access the Publisher Dashboard​

Once you have an account, the Publisher Dashboard is your home for managing apps, updating settings, accessing your API token, and monitoring performance.
