Introduction
This document describes how to post full shared auto leads to PX using ping post. We accept POST requests in XML and JSON. Follow this article to read how ping post works in PX.Posting URL
Before leads can be posted into PX’s live environment, tests need to be performed to ensure success. For testing purposes, PX will set the publisher campaign to a test mode during the integration. All the tests and responses on these tests can be found in the Test leads report.
Ping URL: https://leadapi.px.com/api/lead/ping
Post URL: https://leadapi.px.com/api/lead/post
Forcing a success: When 90100 zip code is used in the staging environment, the API will respond with success if the API is configured correctly.
Once a lead has been successfully posted and proper posting is confirmed by PX, leads can be posted to the live environment. To post into the live environment, PX will set the publisher campaign to the production mode after approving the successful test.

The responses from our API shows if a Ping/Post has been successful or not, and if the lead wasn’t successful, why the Ping/Post has been rejected.
- The “Message” parameter gives a general error code.
- The “Errors” parameter gives the specific cause of the error, such as an invalid or missing value for a specific field.
If the Ping/Post was unsuccessful, the Payout and Sold field will show a “Null” value.

Full Shared
PX provides you with the ability to sell us a specific leg only. On the ping response we will tell you the bid per every leg (by name or hashed), and, in the response, should this price be satisfactory for you, you can initiate the post and thus selling us that leg – all through one API ping/post call.
Parameters explained
- OpenSlots – This indicates how many times the lead can still be sold by PX
- Include/Exclude – What action will PX take on this lead? For Full Shared it will always be include since we are including this buyer in the bidding process.
- Name – This is the leg name of the buyer.
- Hash – This is the hashed leg name of the buyer. Hashing is done using the
- SHA-1 hashing method. The hashed value needs to be the buyer’s 1800 phone number.
Full Shared Lead Flow
- Publisher pings PX with a ping request
- PX responds with bids per buyer
- Publisher decides which buyers to include on the post and forms the post request including the buyer’s leg / hashed leg names
- PX responds with the result of the sale per leg name.
Lost bids
This request is initiated after the ping response is received and instructs our API what price the lead has been sold when our bid was lower. This helps us and our lead buyers to optimize the bids.
