Install skill

Give your AI coding agent the applicaster-curation-api-skill skill so it can build this integration on its own. Read it first to see exactly what it instructs your agent to do.

1. Install it

Run this in your terminal, from your project root:

npx skills add https://docs.applicaster.com --skill applicaster-curation-api-skill

In the agent picker, select your agent.

2. Use it

In your agent, paste this prompt (or just ask it to build the integration using the installed skill):

Use the applicaster-curation-api-skill skill to help me implement the Applicaster "Curation API" guide. Ask me about the requirements first, then build.

Curation API

Overview​

The Curation API for Zapp enables external systems to control screen structures dynamically. This feature addresses the need for content customization based on user context or specific events. Primarily designed for the home screen, it is adaptable for internal screens as well.

Implementing The Curation Feed​

Add to your custom DSP implementation one or more additional endpoints to each curation feed you would like to create. Each endpoint should return the following response:

{
  "entry": [
    {
      "preset_name": "curation-sample-1",
      "feed_url": "https://example.com"
    },
    {
      "preset_name": "curation-sample-2",
      "feed_url": "https://example.com"
    },
    ...
  ]
}
