To integrate the Connect library into your app, you need an application key and collector URL.

Prerequisites

To access the settings described below, your company must have an active Connect subscription of the Premium or Ultimate level.

If you are on a Pro subscription, our provisioning team has already registered your application with Connect during the onboarding process and sent your team an application key and collector URL.

Generating a key for your app

The application key is unique for each application. So if you have three versions of your app (web, Android and iOS), you'll need a separate key for each of them. Additionally, you may want to track the QA and PROD versions of your app separately, which requires two different keys.

Here is how to get started:

Log in to Connect under an administrator account.
In the navigation menu, select Integrations.
On the App marketplace tab, click Web app for a website, or Mobile app for a mobile app.
Read Before you begin, then click Next.
In General settings, enter an App name. You can also add a description and tags. For a mobile app, open Configurations and select Analytics for behavior tracking. Select Marketing too if you'll send push notifications. Click Next.
Copy your App key and Collector URL. They're on the Analytics configuration step for a web app, or the External settings step for a mobile app.
Click Next through the remaining steps. For a web app, Analytics configuration also shows the code snippet to add to your web pages.
On Confirmation, click Confirm.

Viewing your key

On the Integrations page, go to My apps, select your app and click View. Administrators can edit the integration settings; standard users can only view them.

Collector URLs

While the application key is unique for each app, the collector URL is always the same within a Connect subscription. This is where the Connect library sends all data to. We offer three collector URLs for different regions.

Frankfurt/EU: https://lib-eu-1.brilliantcollector.com/collector/collectorPost
Dallas/US-1: https://lib-us-1.brilliantcollector.com/collector/collectorPost
Sydney/AP: https://lib-ap-1.brilliantcollector.com/collector/collectorPost

Your kill switch URL uses the same host, with /collector/switch/ followed by your app key. For example: https://lib-us-1.brilliantcollector.com/collector/switch/<your app key>.
