Setting Up Data Sources
Each data source needs API credentials so Apps Finboard can pull your financial data. This page covers the general process - see the individual integration pages for platform-specific steps.
General process
- Go to your project’s Data Sources page in the dashboard
- Click Add Data Source and pick the platform
- Enter the required credentials (API keys, service accounts, etc.)
- Click Save - the first sync starts automatically
Multiple accounts
You can add more than one data source of the same type. If you have two Google Play developer accounts, for example, just add each as a separate data source with its own credentials.
Credential security
All credentials are encrypted with AES-256 before being stored in the database. They’re only decrypted at sync time and never shown in the UI after you enter them.
Data source types
Revenue sources
- Google Play - Needs a Google Cloud service account with Play Developer API access. See Google Play Integration.
- App Store - Needs an App Store Connect API key. See App Store Integration.
- AdMob - Needs OAuth credentials for the AdMob API. See AdMob Integration.
Cost sources
- Google Ads - Needs OAuth credentials and a Google Ads developer token. See Google Ads Integration.
- Apple Ads Advanced - Needs an Apple Search Ads API certificate. See Apple Ads Advanced Integration.
- Apple Ads Basic - No credentials needed, manual CSV upload only. See Apple Ads Basic Integration.
Sync schedule
Data sources sync automatically at 7:00, 13:00, and 19:00 UTC every day. You can also trigger a manual sync from the data source detail page.
Troubleshooting
If a sync fails, check the Sync Log on the data source detail page. The usual suspects:
- Expired or revoked credentials
- Missing API permissions
- Rate limiting from the platform
Re-entering valid credentials and triggering a manual sync usually fixes it.
