This article outlines the data we required our Supply Partners to include on their Marketplace entry links if they have a Cint Panel API integration.
What is required for our Marketplace Supply Partners.
If you have a Cint Panel API integration, please ensure the relevant Cint-specific parameters and values listed in the table below are added to your existing Marketplace Feed (formerly known as API) and/or Match (formerly known as Link) integration entry links. These parameters can be included in the URL string in any order, but the hash signature must remain at the end. Please be mindful of the 1999-character limit for entry links. Exceeding this limit will result in immediate session termination, preventing us from returning the respondent to your platform.
Parameters to add if you have a Cint Panel API Integration (if not appended already)
Parameter Name | Parameter Value Description |
cint_panelist_id | Append the |
cint_member_id |
|
cint_email | Respondent's email address Only real respondent emails must be used — no dummy, placeholder, or test emails are permitted. Before hashing, the email must be cleaned (see below). The cleaned email must then be UTF-8 encoded to ensure consistent handling across all character sets, including non-ASCII characters. The encoded email is then hashed using SHA-256 function, and the resulting hash hex-encoded as a 64-character lowercase hexadecimal string. Correct sequence: Email → Clean → UTF-8 Encode → SHA-256 → Hex Encode Email cleaning Cleaning normalizes the email so that the same address always produces the same hash, regardless of how it was originally entered. To clean an email:
a) Remove all dots (.) from the local part (before the @). b) Remove the plus sign (+) and all subsequent characters from the local part. Both "ExaMplE@Cint.com" and " example@cint.com " clean to the same value, example@cint.com, and therefore produce an identical hash. Cleaning must always be applied before hashing — without it, the same person's email can produce different hashes and will fail to match across the supply chain. Examples (note that all inputs clean to example@cint.com and yield the same hash):
|
MAID | Mobile advertising ID associated with the IOS or Android device. ID must be unhashed. |
