iOS(Swift) - MomentPerks API Integration Guide

overview the https //docs momentscience com/momentperks api allows you to display personalized, performance driven offers to users directly within your ios application this guide outlines the steps required to integrate the api into your app—from fetching offers to rendering ui and tracking user interactions by following this integration guide, you’ll be able to fetch real time, targeted offers based on user context present these offers using your own custom ui or prebuilt reference components track user responses and impressions for reporting and optimization to explore a working example, see the https //github com/adspostx/examples/tree/main/ios native/momentsapidemoapp ios prerequisites before you begin the integration process, ensure the following requirements are met api key before you start the integration, you must acquire a unique api key follow the https //docs momentscience com/getting your api key to obtain your key minimum ios version your project must target ios 15 0 or higher integration steps the moments api enables your ios app to fetch and display personalized offers using a simple post request and contextual payload in this section, you’ll implement a utility function to retrieve and normalize offers for use in your ui for complete details on moments api, refer to the https //docs momentscience com/momentperks api step 1 fetch offers in this step, build a function that sends a post request to the https //docs momentscience com/momentperks api ( native/v4/offers json ) and returns personalized offers based on the given user context build and validate input parameters start by validating optional parameters like loyaltyboost and creative, then prepare the payload body // validate parameters if let loyaltyboost = loyaltyboost, !\["0", "1", "2"] contains(loyaltyboost) { throw offerserror invalidparameter(message "invalid loyaltyboost \\(loyaltyboost)") } if let creative = creative, !\["0", "1"] contains(creative) { throw offerserror invalidparameter(message "invalid creative \\(creative)") } var finalpayload = payload ??
