To retrieve acquisition data for a single add-on, specify the inAppProductId parameter. If you specify both, the applicationId parameter is ignored.
Parameter | Type | Description | Required |
---|---|---|---|
applicationId | string | The Store ID of the app for which you want to retrieve add-on acquisition data. | Yes |
inAppProductId | string | The Store ID of the add-on for which you want to retrieve acquisition data. | Yes |
