iFrame/Web Integration

This page will guide you through the implementation of BitLabs within an iFrame or web link.

Account Set-Up and retrieving your App Token

Before we can get started, you should retrieve your App Token for your integration from the BitLabs Dashboard. If you haven't created an account yet, you can do so here and follow the instructions for the dashboard starting with Sign up & Set up..

Behaviour

It is possible to embed the offer wall in an iFrame. Please note that a new tab will be opened for the user to take the survey if you choose.

The offer wall will open in their browser, where they can complete surveys in exchange for your virtual currency.

Opening BitLabs

You can send your users into the BitLabs offer wall just by opening a link. You can configure the behavior of the offer wall and what should happen after a survey is completed on the BitLabs dashboard in the General Settings.

// This will open the offerwall in a new tab
window.open('https://web.bitlabs.ai/?uid=test1234&token=5fec306d-039a-41f3-94be-56ae3e74b41f', '_blank')

// URL Structure: https://web.bitlabs.ai/?uid=[USER_ID]&token=[YOUR_APP_TOKEN]
<iframe src="https://web.bitlabs.ai/?uid=test1234&token=5fec306d-039a-41f3-94be-56ae3e74b41f"></iframe>

This is where you will need the App token from the dashboard, as you will need to replace "YOUR_APP_TOKEN" with it. For "USER_ID", you will need to dynamically insert the user id for each app user. Make sure the id used here is unique and that it does not change, as the user's profile will be stored under this id.

Optional parameter

The Offerwall uses query parameters to dynamically adjust the user experience.
Every unused query parameter is added to the survey opening URL.
Query parameters always have the highest priority and will override default values or values provided by settings set on our Dashboard. They get saved into the session storage to prevent the parameters from being overwritten after a page reload.

offer-idid of an offer returned from our offer APIThis parameter allows you to open a specific offer when visiting the offerwall. This can be used to redirect users from push notifications or deep links directly to our offerwall and a specific offer.

Colors

The color parameters accept a simple hex color code like #ff00ff or a linear-gradient.
The linear gradient needs this format: linear-gradient(45deg, #ff0000 0%, #00ff00 100%). (the numbers can be changed)

Theme

The Offerwall can operate in two color schemes (themes). Light and Dark. The theme is automatically set on startup based on the user's browser settings. It's possible to override this behavior with the theme query parameter. Just append theme=LIGHT or theme=DARK to force a given theme.

Hashing

To make these parameters a bit more secure, we suggest hashing the finished URL with hmac sha1 and the App/API token as hash salt. This is only recommended if you change currency or exchange rate parameters.

🚧

If the hash is invalid, the offer wall will drop all extra parameter and only keeps the UID and the token. This includes that any additional tags get dropped as well.

Example:

import { createHmac } from 'crypto';

// URL with all desired parameters set
let urlWithParams = 'https://example.com/surveys?uid=123&token=abc123&width=full_width&navigation_color=%23ffff00';

// app/api token
const salt = 'abs123';

// create hash (result from this example: 6b9e14a31b642aed06a12882a13ae2fcb38ece4d)
const hash = createHmac('sha1', salt).update(urlWithParams).digest('hex');

// add hash to the URL
const finishedURL = urlWithParams + '&hash=' + hash;

// finished URL: https://example.com/surveys?uid=123&token=abc123&width=full_width&navigation_color=%23ffff00&hash=6b9e14a31b642aed06a12882a13ae2fcb38ece4d

❗️

Important

To comply with RFC3986 the query parameter values have to be percentage encoded. This means to replace reserved characters with their corresponding percentage encoded code. These codes also have to be uppercase. You can find a list of these codes below.

Your next Step

You have now implemented BitLabs with your project. If you haven't done it already, it is time to configure server-to-server callbacks and the look and feel of your app.
