SmartNews Ads Conversion API

Server-to-server conversion event ingestion for SmartNews Ads. Advertisers POST self-attributed web and app conversions (35 event names including Purchase, AddToCart, Lead, Install and SignUp) to SmartNews for attribution and optimization, either singly or in batches of up to 1,000 events. Auth is a token in the Authorization header; a published staging host is available for testing before switching to production. Documented in the official SmartNews Ads API spec repository and the Ads Help Center — no OpenAPI is published for this surface.
