Introduction
This document describes how to post undersold home 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.

Implementing Jornaya LeadId
To start generating the Jornaya LeadId token on your leads from your page, a script needs to be added to your website. Follow the guidance on how to implement this script.
Implementing TrustedForm
To start generating the TrustedForm CertURL on your leads from your page, a script needs to be added to your website. Follow the guidance on how to implement this script.
Undersold
When leads are being sold to PX that have already been sold to another lead buyer, the undersold method should be used.
Add the following parameters to the request body:
- OpenSlots – indicates the number of times this lead can still be sold;
- Name / Hash – indicates to which buyer this lead has already been sold. These buyers won’t be taken into account in the bidding process
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.
Lost bids Post URL: https://secureopenapi.px.com/px
