You might remember how, a couple of years ago, I was whining about how the authentication on the Reporting API was difficult. At the time, I wrote some Java code that was able to log into it, and I have been using that code, more or less unchanged, for a long time. Now, all APIs … Continue reading Accessing Adobe IO using Java

There are (or will be) parts on coding, debugging, and eventually on publishing the extension.. node.js / npm Before you can start developing a Launch Extension, you need to install node.js. I will not go into … Continue reading Launch – Make an Extension – Setup

Extensions can be used by your friendly marketer or anyone else using Launch to add new capabilites to the tag management setup. The idea is to encapsulate … Continue reading Launch Extensions – Overview
