Building it yourself? Strackr already connects to the verticalAds API: transactions in one dashboard, plus one API across 290+ networks.
verticalAds is the central API of the verticalAds Group, a German affiliate marketing group founded in 2006 that runs communicationAds, financeAds and retailAds. One verticalAds account gives a publisher the data of all its networks through one interface, with more transaction details than each network's own API.
Steps checked on October 8, 2026
Strackr connects to verticalAds with the verticalAds Data credentials, a User and a Key the portal shows once a network is configured. Count one configuration on verticalAds and one connection in Strackr per network: communicationAds, financeAds or retailAds.
Go to account.verticalads.net and sign in, or register if you have no account yet.

Open APIs (1) in the menu and pick the network to connect (2): communicationAds, financeAds or retailAds.

In Account configuration, enter a name for the account (1), then the User ID (2) and the Key (3) of your publisher account on that network, and save (4). The network's own documentation says where to find them: communicationAds, financeAds, retailAds.

Once saved, the page shows your verticalAds Data credentials under the form: the User (1) and the Key (2). These two values are what Strackr needs.

In Strackr, open Connections › Manage Connections, click Connect a network and search the network: Finance Ads, communicationAds or retailAds. Choose the API verticalAds connection type (1); the other type, API, is the network's own API (for retailAds, API is the verticalAds one).

Give the connection a name (1), then paste the verticalAds Data credentials of step 4 above: the User goes in User ID (2), the Key in Key (3). Not the network's own User ID and Key you entered on verticalAds. Then Confirm (4).

You can now connect! Repeat both parts for each network you want through verticalAds.
