Using the response

  • has_offer: true — Show your call-to-action and link the user to offer_url. Use message_hash to display the reward range (for example, "Earn 50–200 gold"). If the user backs out, send them to abandon_url.
  • has_offer: false — Do not show the call-to-action. There is nothing for the user to do right now.

When the user completes the offer, TapResearch reports the reward to your server through a callback.
