Test a Conversion (HTTP Examples)

Summary

This guide explains how to manually test a conversion postback using a web browser or HTTP request tools. It helps verify that your tracking configuration is working correctly before launching a campaign.

When should you use this?

Use conversion testing when:

• Setting up a new CPA network
• Configuring Keitaro, Binom, Voluum, or another tracker
• Verifying postback parameters
• Troubleshooting missing conversions

Example DAO.AD Postback URL

http://api.daopush-api.info/api/postback/campaign?
key=YOUR_API_KEY
&sum=1
&click-id=123456789
&type=main

Parameter explanation:

Method 1: Browser Test

Simply open the URL in your browser:

http://api.daopush-api.info/api/postback/campaign?key=YOUR_API_KEY&sum=1&click-id=123456789&type=main

Expected result:

{"status":"success"}

or similar success response.

Method 2: cURL Example

Linux / macOS / Windows Terminal

curl "http://api.daopush-api.info/api/postback/campaign?key=YOUR_API_KEY&sum=1&click-id=123456789&type=main"

Expected result:

{"status":"success"}

Method 3: Keitaro Test

1. Open the campaign.
2. Find a real Click ID.
3. Replace {external_id} with that Click ID.
4. Send the postback manually.
5. Verify that the conversion appears in DAO.AD statistics.

Method 4: Binom Test

1. Open Click Log.
2. Copy a valid Click ID.
3. Execute the postback URL manually.
4. Check DAO.AD Reports.
