Performance Horizon Connector

Intro

Performance Horizon helps advertisers manage their relationships with marketing partners. To learn more about the Performance Horizon API, visit their page (https://performancehorizon.docs.apiary.io/).

You connect to your Performance Horizon account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Performance Horizon connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Prerequisites

To connect to your Performance Horizon account and create a DataSet, you must have the following:

A Performance Horizon application key
A Performance Horizon user API key

You can find both of these in PHG Console > Reporting > Report Download Options. They are shown in the format https://application_key:user_api_key...cehorizon.com/.

Connecting to Your Performance Horizon Account

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the Performance Horizon Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

Credentials Pane

This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your Performance Horizon account. The following table describes what is needed for each field:

Field	Description
Application Key	Enter your Performance Horizon application key.

For information about finding these credentials, see "Prerequisites," above.

Once you have entered valid Performance Horizon credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new Performance Horizon DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.
