딥링킹 API

Overview

Branch's Deep Linking API is a powerful tool for all things Branch Links. You can programmatically generate links at scale to support all of your campaigns while tagging the links appropriately based on channel and other analytics tags.

Prerequisites & API Access

In order to access the Deep Linking API, you need to have completed the following:

  1. Created a Branch Dashboard

권한인증

Calls to the Deep Linking API require both your Branch Key and (sometimes) Branch Secret parameter to be passed with each request. This can be obtained through the Branch Dashboard Account Settings.

Learn more about your Branch Account Profile here.

For some calls, you will also need your Branch Access Token. This can be obtained from your Branch Dashboard User Settings.

Learn more on retrieving your Access Token here.

API Usage

Create a Deep Link URL

엔드 포인트

POST /v1/url
Content-Type: application/json
Body: JSON parameters
Host: api2.branch.io

Request Headers

Header값필수
Content-Typeapplication/json예

Request Body Parameters:

파라미터

설명

필수

branch_key

The Branch key of the originating app; from your Branch Settings Dashboard

예

data

The dictionary to embed with the link. Accessed as session or install parameters from the SDK. Use the data dictionary for all link control parameters that you'll find here.

아니오

alias

Instead of our standard encoded short url, you can specify the vanity alias. For example, instead of a random string of characters/integers, you can set the vanity alias as .app.link/devonaustin. Aliases are enforced to be unique and immutable per domain, and per link - they cannot be reused unless deleted.

최대 128자

NOTE: If you POST to the this endpoint with the same alias, and a matching set of other POST parameters to an existing aliased link, the original will be returned to you. If it clashes and you don't specify a match, will return a HTTP 409 error.

아니오

type

Set to 0 by default, which represents standard Branch links created via the Branch SDK.

아니오
durationIn seconds. Only set this key if you want to override the match duration for deep link matching. This is the time that Branch allows a click to remain outstanding and be eligible to be matched with a new app session. This is default set to 7200 (2 hours).아니오

identityThe identity used to identify the user. If the link is not tied to an identity, there's no need to specify an identity.Max 127 characters아니오

Update Existing Deep Link

🚧

링크 업데이트 팁

  • A link's data object is overwritten entirely by the Link Update API, so make sure to include all of the link's data when updating it (not just the data you're changing).
  • To update links in bulk, combine the Link Update and Link Read APIs when creating a script.
  • If you want to add custom key/value pairs to the data object, you will need to do it outside of the API Reference.

링크 업데이트 팁

  • Link 업데이트 API가 링크의 데이터 객체를 완전히 겹쳐 쓰므로 업데이트할 때 (변경하는 데이터뿐 아니라) 링크의 모든 데이터를 포함해야 합니다.
  • To update links in bulk, combine the Link update and Link read APIs when creating a script.

The sample Python script below reads a 2-column CSV file, and updates a key specified in the script for all links listed in column A, with the values in column B:

import requests
import csv
import sys
import urllib
import json

def BranchUpdateModule(KeyV, SecretV, UpdateV, File):
    #Insert API key & App Secret from the Branch dashboard, and the Link data key you want to change in each link **
    branch_key = KeyV
    branch_secret = SecretV
    key_to_update = UpdateV


    #Insert filename for CSV containing links to update in first column, and values to add in second column **
    ifile = open(File, "r", encoding="utf-8")

    #Constants
    branchendpoint = "https://api2.branch.io/v1/url?url="
    reader = csv.reader(ifile, delimiter=',')


    # Uncomment the next line if you want the script to skip the first line of the CSV
    next(reader)

    # Loop through CSV
    for row in reader:

        # Retrieve link data for link being updated
        url = urllib.parse.quote_plus(row[0])
        getrequest = branchendpoint + url + "&branch_key=" + branch_key
        linkdata = requests.get(getrequest)
        jsonData = json.loads(linkdata.text)

        if linkdata.status_code != 200:
            print('Failed: {}'.format( getrequest))
            continue

        # Set credentials for update API
        jsonData["branch_key"] = branch_key
        jsonData["branch_secret"] = branch_secret

        #TODO for editing new value
        newValue = row[1]
        if key_to_update in jsonData:
            jsonData[key_to_update] = newValue
        if key_to_update in jsonData["data"]:
            jsonData["data"][key_to_update] = newValue

        if jsonData.get('type', None) is not None:
            del jsonData['type']
        if jsonData.get('alias', None):
            del jsonData['alias']
        payload = json.dumps(jsonData)
        #print("\n \n payload")
        #print(payload)
        putrequest = branchendpoint + url

        print(putrequest)
        r = requests.put(putrequest, json=jsonData)
        #print("\n \n")
        print(r.url)
        print(r)

        # print

    ifile.close()

Link Update Restrictions

링크 업데이트를 시도할 때 다음과 같은 제한 사항이 있습니다.

  • Not all links are updateable, namely links with the structure of bnc.lt/c/ or bnc.lt/d/
  • The alias of a link cannot be updated, e.g. 'https://bnc.lt/test' -> 'https://bnc.lt/test1'
  • Branch 링크와 관련된 ID를 업데이트할 수 없습니다.
  • The type of a link cannot be changed, e.g. a marketing link is type 2, and a standard link generated by our Branch SDK is type 0
  • 다음 추가 필드는 업데이트할 수 없습니다.
    • app_id
    • randomized_bundle_token
    • domain
    • state
    • creation_source
    • app_short_identifier
