# Compari
How to connect Compari to Roivenue, including generating the API key and whitelisting Roivenue, and what the connector downloads.
Compari is a Romanian price comparison site. The Roivenue connector downloads daily click and cost data per product using the Compari API.
## Setting up the connector
Compari needs an API key and an IP range that allows Roivenue to call the API. Both are on the same admin page.
### 1. Open the API Config page
Sign in to Compari and open the admin section, or go straight to [compari.ro/admin/apiconfig](https://www.compari.ro/admin/apiconfig).
### 2. Generate the API key
Generate a key for the Roivenue connector. Compari copies it to your clipboard, and you will paste it into Roivenue in step 4. Treat it as a password.
### 3. Allow Roivenue to call the API
Compari only accepts API calls from IP ranges you list. Roivenue does not call from a fixed address, so enter both halves of the address space, `0.0.0.0/1` and `128.0.0.0/1`.

Skipping this step is the most common reason a Compari connector authorises and then returns nothing. The API key alone is not enough.
{% endhint %}
### 4. Authorise the connector in Roivenue
Add a Compari connector in Roivenue. It asks for the e-mail address of your Compari account, which identifies the authorisation, and the API key from step 2.
### 5. Choose the report type
Compari connectors also ask which report to download, `AKONLY` or `CSSONLY`. The default is `AKONLY`. The choice decides which traffic the connector reads, and it also prefixes every campaign name, so `AKONLY` produces campaigns beginning `AK_` and `CSSONLY` produces campaigns beginning `CSS_`.
Set up one connector per report type if you need both.
## What the default setup downloads
One job, bringing back one row per product and day.
| Compari column | Roivenue column |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `Data` | date |
| `Nume produs*` | adCampaign, prefixed `AK_` or `CSS_` |
| `Clickuri` | clicks |
| `Cost total clickuri**` | cost |
Every row is stamped with Compari as the platform and RON as the currency. There is no ad group, and no impressions, conversions or revenue, because Compari does not report them through this API. Clicks and cost are the whole picture.
The job reprocesses the last three days on every run, so recent figures can still move slightly.
## Available columns
The tables above are what the recommended template downloads. Every column this connector can bring back is listed on [Compari - Supported Columns](/roivenue-resources/roivenue-training/roivenue-app/data/connectors-overview/list-of-connectors/compari/compari-supported-columns.md).
Adding one means editing the connector in the Advanced Editor, which stops that connector receiving template updates.
## How far back the data goes
{% hint style="warning" %}
Compari serves the last 30 days only. Connecting today gives you a month of history, whatever start date you pick, and anything older has to come from a different source.
{% endhint %}
## Troubleshooting
The connector authorises but no data arrives
Check the IP ranges on the API Config page first. Both `0.0.0.0/1` and `128.0.0.0/1` need to be listed, and an incomplete range is the usual cause: the key is accepted, the calls are not.
Campaign names all start with AK_ or CSS_
That is the report type prefix, added so that rows from the two report types stay apart when both are connected. The rest of the name is the product name as Compari reported it.
Conversions and revenue are zero or missing
Compari does not report orders or revenue through this API. Attribute Compari on cost and clicks, and take conversions from your order data instead.
One product appears as two campaigns
The campaign name holds the product name, and Compari returns the name as it was at the time. A product renamed during the period therefore appears under each name it had. The underlying `Identifier` stays the same, but it is not part of the default mapping.
I asked for a year of history and only got a month
That is the platform limit rather than a fault. Compari exposes 30 days, so Roivenue cannot request more.
