  AT&T API Platform Samples - Ad App 1
 -------------------------------------

This application demonstrates the usage of Advertisement API of AT&T platform. 
The Advertisement API is a service that returns advertisements enabling the 
developer to insert the advertisements into their application.

This file describes how to set up, configure and run the C# Applications of the
AT&T API Platform sample applications. It covers all steps required to register the
application on developer site and, based on the generated API keys and secrets, 
create and run one's own full-fledged sample applications.

  1. Configuration
  2. Installation
  3. Parameters
  4. Running the application


1. Configuration

  Configuration consists of a few steps necessary to get an application registered
  on developer site with the proper services and endpoints, depending on the type of
  client-side application (autonomous/non-autonomous). 

  To register an application, go to https://developer.att.com/ and login with
  your valid username and password. Next, choose "My Apps" from the bar at the top
  of the page and click the "Setup a New Application" button. 

  Fill in the form, in particular all fields marked as "required".

  Be careful while filling in the "OAuth Redirect URL" field. It should contain the
  URL that the oAuth provider will redirect users to when he/she successfully
  authenticates and authorizes your application.

NOTE: You MUST select Ads in the list of services under field 'Services' in order to
use this sample application code. 

  Having your application registered, you will get back an important pair of data:
  an API key and Secret key. They are necessary to get your applications working with
  the AT&T Platform APIs.

  Initially your newly registered application is restricted to the "Sandbox"
  environment only. To move it to production, you may promote it by clicking the
  "Promote to production" button. Notice that you will get a different API key and 
  secret, so these values in your application should be adjusted accordingly.

  Depending on the kind of authentication used, an application may be based on either
  the Autonomous Client or the Web-Server Client OAuth flow.
  

2. Installation

** Requirements

   To run the this sample application you need an IIS Server. 

   Download the application files from the download link published in AT&T portal
   into webdomain of your IIS server.



3. Parameters
   
  Each sample application contains an web.config file. This file
  is located in the 'app' folder. This file holds configurable
  parameters described in an easy-to-read format. Please modify the
  web.config file using the comments specified within the file. 

  Note: If your application is promoted from Sandbox environment to Production
  environment and you decide to use production application settings, you must
  update parameters as per production application details.

4. Running the application

Suppose you copied the sample app files in your IIS server webroot/ads/app1/ folder.
In order to run the sample application, type in'http://IIS_HOSTNAME/ads/app1/Default.aspx'.
