Account Setup
Overview
Before you start: your Delivr contact (sales or support) creates the organization for you and invites the first user. Watch for an invitation email, accept it, and sign in at app.delivr.ai. From there, everything is self-serve, including inviting teammates from Settings > Members.
Once you're in the dashboard, you need a project and at least one pixel before you can query events or build audiences.
Creating the credential itself is dashboard-only. Once you hold an organization API key + secret, everything else in this guide is available via API.
| What you need | How to create it |
|---|---|
| Organization | Created by your Delivr contact. They invite you via email. |
| Organization API key + secret (the credential for everything below) | Dashboard: https://app.delivr.ai/{org_id}/settings/api-keys |
| Project | API (POST /api/v1/project/create) or dashboard |
| Pixel | API (POST /api/v1/pixel/create) or dashboard |
App credentials (client_id + client_secret, only for creating organizations) | Dashboard: https://app.delivr.ai/account/apps |
Most integrations only need an organization API key + secret pair. That covers querying events, audiences, taxonomy, and identity lookup across every project in the org, plus full management of your organization, projects, pixels, and members.
Managing your organization, projects, pixels, and members works with the organization API key (
X-Api-Key+X-Api-Secret) directly, with no app and no platform JWT: read, update, or delete your own organization (https://api.delivr.ai/api/v1/organization), full project and pixel CRUD (https://api.delivr.ai/api/v1/project*andhttps://api.delivr.ai/api/v1/pixel*), and organization- and project-member management (.../api/v1/organization/user*and.../api/v1/project/user*). On the org-key path a project-scoped call names its target project in the request: aproject_idfield for writes, or a?project_id=query parameter for reads. The Partner API (app credentials) is required only for creating organizations and for enterprise-level operations.
Base URL: https://api.delivr.ai for everything: management, events, audiences, taxonomy, and lookup.
Watch the path prefix, not the host. Organization-key management calls are
/api/v1/*. The Partner API paths under/public/core/*take app credentials and a platform JWT instead, and sendingX-Api-Keyto one of those returnsMissing Authorization header.

| Concept | What It Is |
|---|---|
| Organization | Your account. Created by Delivr support or sales as part of onboarding; you receive an invite to join it. |
| API key + secret | Org-level credential pair. Manages your projects, pixels, and members, and queries the data APIs. Created in the dashboard. |
| App | A Partner API credential pair (client_id + client_secret) used to create organizations and run enterprise-level operations. Not needed for projects or pixels. Created in the dashboard. |
| Project | A container for your pixels and audience data. Lives under your organization. |
Step 1: Create an Organization API Key
The organization API key + secret pair is the credential for everything in this guide: creating projects and pixels, and querying events, audiences, taxonomy, and identity lookup. Create it in the dashboard:
- Sign in at app.delivr.ai.
- Open
https://app.delivr.ai/{org_id}/settings/api-keysand click Create API key. - Copy the key and secret. The secret is shown once.
The pair goes in two headers on every request:
X-Api-Key: dlvr_xxxxxxxx
X-Api-Secret: xxxxxxxx
There is no separate token exchange. The key authenticates directly, and every call is scoped to the key's own organization, so you never pass an organization_id.
Do you need an App instead? Apps (
client_id+client_secret) are Partner API credentials for user-scoped access, such as issuing per-user credentials inside your own product. They are required only for creating organizations and for enterprise-level operations. Creating projects and pixels does not need an app or a platform JWT. See Partner API: creating organizations at the end of this guide.
Step 2: Create a Project
Projects are containers for your pixels and audience data. Create one with your organization API key:
curl -X POST https://api.delivr.ai/api/v1/project/create \
-H "X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "X-Api-Secret: YOUR_API_SECRET" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"project": {
"name": "My Project"
}
}'The project is created in the organization the key belongs to. There is no organization_id header on this path.
Response
{
"response": {
"project_id": "5b6f6b47-5ba7-..."
}
}Save the project_id. You'll pass it to the Events and Audiences APIs.
Provisioning a project per tenant? This endpoint is the one to automate against. It needs no dashboard session and no token refresh, so a server-side job can call it with a stored key pair.
Prefer the UI? Create projects from Settings > Projects in the dashboard.
List Your Projects
curl https://api.delivr.ai/api/v1/project/get \
-H "X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "X-Api-Secret: YOUR_API_SECRET"Response
{
"response": {
"projects": [
{
"project_id": "5b6f6b47-5ba7-...",
"name": "My Project",
"status": "active",
"created_at": "2026-01-01 10:00:00"
}
]
}
}Step 3: Create a Pixel
Create a pixel for your project. Either via API:
curl -X POST https://api.delivr.ai/api/v1/pixel/create \
-H "X-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "X-Api-Secret: YOUR_API_SECRET" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"project_id": "YOUR_PROJECT_ID",
"title": "My Website Pixel"
}'The target project is named in the body and must belong to your key's organization.
Or from the dashboard: open your project, go to Settings > Pixels, and click Create pixel.
Response
{
"response": {
"pixel_id": "8a755c42-b2b1-...",
"installation_url": "https://cdn.delivr.ai/pixels/8a755c42-b2b1-.../p.js"
}
}Add the install snippet to your site's <head>:
<script id="delivr-ai" src="https://cdn.delivr.ai/pixels/YOUR_PIXEL_ID/p.js" async></script>Verify your first event
Before you build anything on top of the pixel, confirm an event actually arrives. Load a page on your site so the pixel fires, then check either way:
- In the dashboard: open the pixel (or source) detail page. It shows a live "waiting for your first event... received" indicator that flips once data lands.
- From the API (after Step 4, once you have a key): query the base event tier and confirm rows come back.
curl -s "https://api.delivr.ai/api/v3/events/web_event?project_id=YOUR_PROJECT_ID&limit=10" \
-H "X-Api-Key: dlvr_xxxxxxxx" \
-H "X-Api-Secret: YOUR_SECRET"If rows come back, your pixel is wired up correctly.
Summary: What You Have Now
| Item | Where You Got It | Where To Use It |
|---|---|---|
| api_key / api_secret | Step 1, dashboard | X-Api-Key / X-Api-Secret headers on every call in this guide and on all data API calls |
| Project ID | Step 2 | project_id parameter on events and audience calls |
| Pixel ID | Step 3 | pixel_id parameter on events calls |

Creating Organizations (Partner API)
Everything above runs on the organization API key. One operation does not: creating a new organization. That, and enterprise-level operations, run on the Partner API with app credentials and a platform JWT.
You need this only if you are provisioning whole organizations programmatically. If you are provisioning projects under an organization you already have, use POST /api/v1/project/create from Step 2 instead.
- Open
https://app.delivr.ai/account/appsand click Create app. - Name the app and copy
client_idandclient_secret. These are shown once. - Exchange your dashboard user credentials for a platform JWT at
POST https://api.delivr.ai/public/core/auth/issue.
Partner API calls then carry all three:
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PLATFORM_JWT
X-Delivr-Client-ID: client_...
X-Delivr-Client-Secret: secret_...
The JWT is issued against a dashboard user, so this path assumes a human-owned account rather than a purely machine-to-machine credential.
Next Steps
You now have a project, a pixel, and an API key + secret pair. Choose your path:
Path 1: On-Domain Events (Pixel)
Query visitor events from your installed pixel. New integrations should use the per-tier Events API v3, where the route you call fixes the price.
On-Domain Events API · Events API v3
Path 2: Intent Audiences
Create intent-based audiences on your project and download the results.
