Authentication

Every request carries a project API key, minted in Project Settings › API Keys. Send it as a Bearer token or an X-API-Key header. Each key is scoped; the full key is shown once on creation.

http
# Preferred
Authorization: Bearer ap_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
# Alternative
X-API-Key: ap_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Scopes

Scopes
ScopeDescription
scan:read List targets, journeys, and scan history; poll a scan and evaluate a CI gate.
scan:write Trigger ad-hoc scans, re-run saved tests, and cancel a pending/running scan.
upload:write Upload a CI APK/XAPK artifact for a mobile scan (valid 14 days).
datalayer:write Acknowledge dataLayer diffs from CI: approve/ignore diffs, and set vendor-monitoring states across a target.
admin Manage the project’s own API keys (mint / list / revoke). An `admin` key cannot mint another `admin` key — that is dashboard-only.

Endpoints

All endpoints are rooted at the API base URL and require the listed scope.

CI gate options

Pass a URL-encoded JSON gate as ?gate= when polling a scan. Predicates combine with OR — the gate fails if any predicate matches. CI should exit non-zero when gate.passed is false.

CI gate options
OptionTypeDescription
minComplianceScore number (0–100) Fail when the compliance score is below this threshold (score_below_threshold).
failOnNewDataLayerRegressions boolean Fail on new, unacknowledged dataLayer regressions (datalayer_regressions).
failOnSeverity "info" | "warning" | "critical" Fail when any diff meets or exceeds this severity (severity_exceeded).
failOnBrokenStep boolean Fail when the journey replay broke mid-flow (status_broken_step).
failOnStatus "failed" | "cancelled" | "broken_step" | "no_data"[] Fail when the scan ends in any of the listed statuses (status_<status>). Note: status_no_data always fails, whether or not it is listed.
failOnNewVendors boolean Fail when a first-seen vendor appears in the monitored dataLayer (new_vendors).
Warning
Non-failing warnings (for example a dataLayer gate requested against a scan with no baseline) are returned in a separate warnings[] array — they never flip gate.passed to false.

Diff detail (include=diffs)

Add ?include=diffs to a scan poll to embed the full unresolved-diff list. The diff is value-blind: it reports each event's parameter names and JS types, never their values.

http
# Ask for the full unresolved-diff list on a terminal scan:
GET /api/v1/scans/{id}?include=diffs

# Response adds a diffs[] array (value-blind: name + JS-type only):
{
  "status": "completed",
  "gate": { "passed": false, "failures": [ { "code": "new_vendors", "detail": "1 new-vendor diff(s)" } ] },
  "warnings": [],
  "diffs": [
    {
      "stepIndex": 2,
      "elementKey": "event:tiktok::purchase",
      "vendor": "tiktok",
      "diffType": "extra_event",
      "severity": "warning",
      "description": "Event present in the scan but not in the expected schema"
    }
  ]
}
# diffType is one of: missing_event | extra_event | event_drifted | missing_param |
# extra_param | param_type_changed | consent_value_changed | consent_unreadable |
# step_not_reached. elementKey is "event:<vendor>::<name>",
# "param:<vendor>::<event>::<param>", "consent:<vendor>::<event>::<country>.<signal>",
# or "step:<index>" for step_not_reached, which belongs to no vendor.

Dry-run preview gating

Point a saved test at a per-PR preview URL to gate the deploy without corrupting the production baseline. The linked journey is replayed as a dry-run: it produces diffs and a score for the gate but writes nothing back to the journey.

bash
# Gate a per-PR preview deploy WITHOUT mutating the saved journey baseline.
# The target's linked journey is replayed against $PREVIEW_URL as a dry-run:
# it still produces diffs + score for the gate, but writes nothing back to the
# journey's expected schema, vendor watch-list, or regressions.
SID=$(curl -fsS -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AP_KEY" \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d "{\"url\":\"$PREVIEW_URL\"}" \
  "$BASE/api/v1/targets/$TARGET_ID/scans" | jq -r .scanId)
# 400 journey_required is returned when the target has no journey to replay.

Cursor pagination

List endpoints use keyset pagination. Follow nextCursor until it is null; the legacy truncated flag is retained for back-compatibility.

bash
# Keyset pagination (ordered createdAt DESC, id DESC):
curl -fsS -H "Authorization: Bearer $AP_KEY" \
  "$BASE/api/v1/scans?limit=20" | jq '{next: .nextCursor, count: (.scans | length)}'

# Pass the previous response's nextCursor to fetch the next page;
# nextCursor is null on the final page (truncated is kept for back-compat):
curl -fsS -H "Authorization: Bearer $AP_KEY" \
  "$BASE/api/v1/scans?limit=20&cursor=$NEXT_CURSOR"

Rate limits

Limits are enforced per API key and surfaced on every response.

  • 60 requests / minute per key. Every response carries X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and X-RateLimit-Reset (seconds until the window resets).
  • A 429 response adds Retry-After (seconds).
  • 5 concurrent long-polls per key. Exceeding the cap returns 429 too_many_long_polls with Retry-After: 5.

Idempotency

Trigger and re-run endpoints are safe to retry with an idempotency key.

  • Send Idempotency-Key (1–200 chars) as a header, or an idempotencyKey body field — the header wins.
  • An in-flight duplicate is held for 5 minutes; a completed key replays for 24 hours. A replay returns 200 with idempotentReplay: true.
  • A key identifies one logical operation, scoped per project across both trigger endpoints — reusing the same key for a different call replays the original scan's id rather than starting a new scan, so use a fresh key (e.g. the commit SHA) per distinct scan.
bash
# Make retries safe: repeat the same Idempotency-Key header (or "idempotencyKey"
# body field) and a replay returns HTTP 200 with idempotentReplay=true and the
# original scanId instead of starting a second scan.
curl -fsS -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AP_KEY" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $GITHUB_SHA" \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{}' \
  "$BASE/api/v1/targets/$TARGET_ID/scans"

Error codes

Every error response has a stable shape: an error object carrying code, message, and optional details, plus a top-level requestId. Gate-failure codes appear in gate.failures[].code, not in error.code.

Error codes
CodeDescription
unauthorized No usable credentials were presented.
missing_credentials Neither an Authorization Bearer token nor an X-API-Key header was sent.
invalid_key The API key is not recognised.
key_revoked The API key has been revoked.
key_expired The API key is past its expiry date.
tier_forbidden The project tier does not include programmatic API access (Enterprise only).
insufficient_scope The key lacks the scope this operation requires.
rate_limited Per-key request rate limit exceeded — see the Retry-After header.
too_many_long_polls Too many concurrent long-poll requests for this key (max 5).
invalid_request The request body or query failed validation.
not_found The referenced scan, target, journey, or upload does not exist for this project.
idempotent_in_progress A prior request with the same Idempotency-Key is still in flight.
idempotency_conflict The same Idempotency-Key was reused with a different payload on the same resource (e.g. single-journey vs journeys:"all"). Use a new key when the payload changes.
idempotency_corrupt The stored idempotency record for this key could not be read. Retry with a new Idempotency-Key.
not_cancellable The scan is already terminal and cannot be cancelled.
scan_not_terminal The scan has not reached a terminal status yet, so the requested artifact (SARIF / explain) is not available. Poll GET /scans/{id} first.
journey_mismatch The supplied journeyId does not belong to the target.
journey_required A preview-URL gate needs a journey to replay, but the target has none.
journey_sleeping The journeyId is ranked beyond the plan's per-target journey quota. Reorder the target's journeys or upgrade the plan.
no_url A web/hbbtv scan requires a url.
scan_type_mismatch The scanType disagrees with the target/upload type.
scan_in_progress The target already has an active scan.
invalid_target The target is not valid for this scanType.
dispatch_failed The scan could not be enqueued.
target_has_no_journeys A target-scoped vendor-monitoring write had no journeys to fan out to. Record a journey on the target first.
internal_error Unexpected server-side failure — safe to retry.
file_too_large The uploaded artifact exceeds the size limit.
package_parse_failed The APK/XAPK package name could not be parsed.
upload_failed The artifact could not be stored.
score_below_threshold gate: compliance score fell below minComplianceScore.
datalayer_regressions gate: new, unacknowledged dataLayer regressions were found.
severity_exceeded gate: a diff met or exceeded failOnSeverity.
status_broken_step gate/warning: the journey replay broke mid-flow. It fails only when explicitly configured as a generic API gate predicate; the fixed GitHub policy reports it as a non-blocking warning.
status_failed gate: the scan ended in a failed status.
status_cancelled gate: the scan ended cancelled.
status_no_data gate: the scan produced no trustworthy measurement, so it has no score and cannot be gated on one. Always fails, whether or not it is listed in failOnStatus.
new_vendors gate: a first-seen vendor appeared in the dataLayer.
diffs_not_persisted gate: the scan finished but its findings could not be stored, so the diff list is incomplete. Always fails — an empty diff list here means "not written", not "nothing found". Re-run the scan.

CI recipes

Trigger a scan, re-poll until it reaches a terminal status, then evaluate the gate. On failure the recipe prints the offending diffs and exits non-zero.

GitHub Action (multi-journey)

The composite action wraps the whole trigger, poll, gate, SARIF and comment loop in one uses: block. It runs every runnable, quota-admitted journey against your preview URL (draft and broken included; paused excluded), reports only direct dataLayer changes, and blocks only critical findings. Warning, info, and an incomplete journey replay remain non-blocking feedback; dispatch and scanner failures still fail safely. It needs the repository secret ANALYTICSPROOF_API_KEY and the permissions contents: read, pull-requests: write, security-events: write.
