    Game landing page demo

    You can find here a fully functional demo landing page which demonstrates integrating the generateDirectClickURL Smart Script code.

    Code example for a Steam game

    //Initializing Smart Script arguments
// If a media source key is NOT FOUND on the link and NO default value is found, the script will return a null string 
var mediaSource = {keys: ["my_media_source"], defaultValue: "my_default_media_source"};
var campaign = {keys: ["my_campaign"], defaultValue: "my_default_campaign"};

//Calling the function after embedding the code will be through a global parameter on the window object called window.AF_SMART_SCRIPT
//Onelink URL is generated

var result = window.AF_SMART_SCRIPT.generateDirectClickURL({
  afParameters:{
    mediaSource: mediaSource,
    campaign: campaign
  },
  platform: 'steam',
  app_id: '123456',
  redirectURL:'https://store.steampowered.com/app/123456/Team_Fortress_2/'
})

var result_url = "No output from script"
if (result) {
  result_url = result.clickURL;            
}
