AppLovin

AppLovin uses simple API key authentication. You have two keys: a report key for read access and a management key for write access. You only need the management key if you want adduck to pause, resume, or change budgets on AppLovin campaigns.

Required credentials

Field	Required	Description
reportKey	Yes	API key for accessing the Reporting API. Read-only. Found in your AppLovin account settings.
managementKey	No	API key for the Management API. Required for pause, resume, and budget changes. Found in the same location as the report key.
accountId	No	Your AppLovin account ID. adduck can infer this automatically from the API, but you can set it explicitly if you manage multiple accounts.

Step 1: Get your API keys

Go to Account (top right) then Keys. You'll see two keys listed:

Report Key: used for the Reporting API
Management Key: used for the Campaign Management API

Copy both. If you don't see the Management Key, you may need to enable Campaign Management API access under your account plan.

Step 2: Connect to adduck

adduck auth login applovin

The wizard will ask for your report key first, then optionally the management key.
