Geo Block on the stripcash API and Iframe
 

-- How do you geo block models server side?
-- How do you geo block when using the iframe? (lite-iframe.stripcdn.com)

The documentation states there's a parameter called "country" to be passed on to the querystring. It is unclear where to get the country from nor which format.

The documentation also states that if this parameter is not passed on, then the IP of the user is used. This surely works on a client side implementation but my understanding is that this is not working on server side sites (php).

Furthermore if you use an iframe to show the model feed.

So any hints from wenmasters or/and stripcash ?

Thanks

All other cam sites APIs ask that you pass the IP of the current user so they can return relevant data. For example, Chaturbate API v2 will return a list of models when you pass client_ip=x.x.x.x (where x.x.x.x is the ip of the visitor, like 12.12.12.12)

Same goes with Whalehunter or AWE (which also have an end point for a given model).


With StripChash it is different:

- The only API endpoint StripCash supplies at the time I'm writing is a method to get a list of models: https://go.xlviiirdr.com/api/models

- The doc (https://stripcash.com/documentation/models-list) gives a list of parameters, 2 of those seem to be used for geo blocks : country and region.
I can pass a country code like so: https://go.xlviiirdr.com/api/models?country=fr (where fr is for a visitor located in France). Is this the correct way to use it?

Can you also pass this to the iframe like so: lite-iframe.stripcdn.com/modelname?country=fr


I feel like I am in the 6th sense. Can anyone see me?!?!

I found out how do do this: as I assumed, pass the country code like so to filter the list by geo blocks: country=XX

I've done a couple of tests and it worked: adding country=co then models with geobans like [co] disappeared from the response.

Another way is to add fields=geobans to your querystring and then add a piece of code to filter out models in the response that have a geoban in the country where your visitor is.

I'll go with option 1 since the logic is on the API side. Anyway if you don't specify a value, the documentation states it's going to take the ip of the caller by default, which, in the case of a server side implementation (LAMP for example) is going to be the ip of the server (which is not what you want).

That's for the list page.

Don't take my word for it, verify for yourself and/or ask your AM.

we'll improve our API documentation to make it more clear.
for geobans, it's enough to use 1 parameter "fields=geobans" (it will both extract model blocked country info + user GEO).

For widgets, it's same way

dzhanova is 100% right : fields=geobans will add geo bans info to the response.

It is important to note that it is not applying any geo filters, it merely enrich the json response.

without fields=geobans you get:
with fields=geobans you get:
But the model still shows up until you do one of those two things:

- add country=xx (replace xx by the 2 letters country code of the current visitor)
This is the preferred solution because the business logic is on the API side. country=ru will have the API ruturn all models except those who have geo banned Russia.

- add some code on your website where you handle the JSON response to compare current user location with list of geo bans returned. This is a poor solution.

** disclaimer : all the above is based on my tests + info I read in the doc (country parameter)

we noticed that geoban works not in all cases, as it should. we're on fixing this.

@drexl thank you for this investigation and tests! the info you provide helps us to improve.

Dear Partner,

We want to share insight into the Junes StripCash and StripChat updates.

Stripcash releases for your attention :

- Uniq Member categorization based on spending
You can set up three categories based on spending and monitor which cohort of users are actively spending with you. This way, you can track if your whales are still with you or missing from a given period.
You can find this setting in the statistics/option part. After running the report, add these three columns to your table:
Low spenders
Medium spenders
High spenders

- Creative builder
Build creatives easier: /links-and-creatives/ad-creatives-builder
- Model signups from whitelabels redirect to /become-a-model instead of /signup/model for more comprehensive model onboarding.
- VR device tracking is now possible under client device grouping. We will update this grouping to include all the actual VR devices worldwide.
- Fixed the responsive issues with the news page
- We have improved our Machine Learning to exclude thumbs where we don't have models in the camera.
- We have marked the tags where machine learning is enabled here: /links-and-creatives/links-builder. The Computer Vision will prioritize the models within the title if it detects the anal or blowjob action.
- Language detection rules are now available for API users; add &forceClient=1 parameter to your request. It is suggested to use it as its the best-converting logic.

Stripchat product-related releases for your attention :

- We have removed the duplicates of models on the Index within Recommended and Last Picks buckets.
This release improved the engagement of the index page by keeping every bracket unique.
- We show an extra signup thumb on the guest's favorite page in case he has at least one favorite.
This release improves the conversion rate for guests who prefer not to register but still collect favorites.
- The VR device users now can zoom on the models to "pull them closer." We will release further positioning customizations shortly. We have also enabled emoticons for VR users.

Thanks for the update, do you know if there is anyway to link strip cash data with google analytics so we can track cohorts and user segments in there also?

I don't think u can do this with a whitelabel. But I have not really knowlage about these things.

Thanks for sharing here! :thumbsup

you can use GA code with your white label

Dear Partner,


We want to share insight into the Julys StripCash and StripChat updates.


Stripcash releases for your attention :


New postbacks - model registration, model bonus reached
From now you can track your model referral earnings via postback.

Slider script: now affiliates can control the skip button
We have added the skip option to the video slider script

Preparation for the End of Summer Promotion
We will enable our promotion close to the end of August, focusing on retention and new user acquisition.

Various bug fixes and other improvements

Stripchat product-related releases for your attention :


Search by advanced filters
From now on the user can search within Tip Menu/Private Activities/ShowTopics and Categories. To test out this feature, try to search on the site for example : Oil.
Stripcash will support this feature in the coming weeks to support different case scenarios:
Category: stripchat.com/girls/oil-show
Tip Menu: stripchat.com/search/menu/oil
Private Activities: stripchat.com/search/private-menu/oil
Show Topic: stripchat.com/search/topic/oil

Clear chat for everybody
Models now can clear the public chat; all messages from the model and viewers disappear. This is a valuable tool for quick reaction to spam, etc., in rooms.

Translate Chats by Request for Models
Models now can translate the member's messages in the chat—a great tool to increase conversion and retention.

Battleship game
Remember this game where you and your opponent try to destroy each other's ships by guessing their positions? Models can launch the game where viewers must take paid shots at models' ships to win a prize.
Stripcash will support this category as we believe these "Battleship Rooms" can increase the conversion rate in specific case scenarios.


I appreciate the last point - I hope more minigames will be implemented in future, cause I think this is something highly interested by users.

Good updates. :thumbsup

Dear Partners,

I hope you are all doing well.
I need your help and bits of advice, please. I’m in the process of (re)building my webcam adult site so I can start making money as an affiliate (hopefully). Previously, I had my adult webcam site done by the guys from Roboscripts.net, and everything was set up, including the WP Plugin, which worked fine. But because I was busy with other stuff, I had to pull off for some time.

Now I’m stuck as I need to get my website back online. I need to add the WP plugin to my page, but I don’t know where best to get the right one. And would anyone knows what happened to guys from Roboscripts.net? Can you please help me by directing me to the right channel so I can get my adult webcam site running too?

Many thanks for your help.

They have disappeared, I recommend using mechbunny's script

Thank very much friend. much appreciated.

Does that script work with whitelables? Have not seen yet.

Yes, you can choose to send directly to the affiliate program or to your whitelabel

They vanished many months ago out of the blue, chances are really small they will come back, sadly. But there is MechBunny which has a good script.

:thumbsup

Thanks for the precious help

message sent to partners
 

stripcash sent a message to partners along the lines of "don't use models content without permission".

That goes without saying. In fact as an affiliate it is a pain to see other affiliates do this, for obvious reasons.

My question is : did you also send a message to models and studios to remind them that there is such a thing as an affiliate program and that some material is provided to us by stripchat themselves in agreement with model's agreement and terms.?

hi :winkwink: We are soon releasing an opt-out feature for the models, who can just exclude themselves from the advertisement. Those affiliates who show content based on our API will benefit from this and therefore avoid DMCA.

Hi dzhanova :)

Great news!

I suggest also sending a communication to studios, models and dmca agents : Chaturbate works with an opt out feature and though this is no doubt helpful there are still a number of them who file notices while still being opted in would you believe. :upsidedow

Another thing that might be confusing for them is that even if they opt out, the link to their page might still be indexed in Google. Although clicking on such a link would only show either nothing or a default online model, that alone can trigger a notice.

Sorry for talking about the most depressing aspect of the business. Thank you for the headsup on this great feature. :thumbsup

Feature request
 

Hello,

I have a feature request for the product team please.

Could you add the twitter:card tags to whitelabels, at the moment it is only implemented for stripchat and xhamsterlive.

I can provide some use case if that is required.

Thank you.

I think that from november 1st something is changing on stripcash API, wait for that sate before making radical changes!

We have perfect experience with Stripchat

hey, thank you for all the ideas, our team will consider them :)

happy to hear :upsidedow

Anybody available to help set up a White Label? martymar @ gmail

Anybody else getting refunds on Stripcash, or it is just me?

Noticed one the other day.. but nothing out of the ordinary.. get refunds on all the cam programs

Are these guys still alive I'm waiting for a WL approval?

Greeting Beaver

Hi! did you send docs required to your manager?
1) signed agreement
2) screenshot of domain registrant +domain name

I sent the domain screenshots via email.
Agrement signed some minutes ago.

Greetings Beaver

stripchat number 1 love them

sexcamplace.com

your WL approved, will be live soon!:winkwink:

We love you, too!! :liebe028:

We were loving Stripchat until two whales from different signup routes and countries, disappeared in the space of three days. Felt suspicious.

Congrats on your WL Beaver1 :thumbsup

It's a great affiliate program.

Still waiting for Stats Remote guy to come back.

And ePassporte.

Yes thanks.
Greetings Beaver


Lets see how it works on DACH Traffic.
Greeetings Beaver

the situation is truly unpleasant! but these are whales - they come and disappear
so rather than regret - better concentrate on attracting new ones :cool-as-a

I just noticed a new column in the Analytics: blocked for review.

Does anyone know what that is? I have a first time sale that is 'blocked for review'.

the user was blocked to review from fraud system, i'll investigate further on him

Content creators beware - Stripchat are criminal shitbags that support piracy and copyright infringement. They earn money from content theft.

I'm sorry you had some bad experience but we don't support anything mentioned :error

I'm going to begin testing Stripchat with some of the traffic I would send to CB. I have actually already had them enabled on one of my old Robo sites. About 7000 unique for 5 signups but no revenue.

Is everyone using WL as end points? What's the best way to get it to work as compared to Chaturbate?

I will probably email my rep and touch base as well.

StripCash whitelabels are properly co-branded with even your logo embded within the live stream. They are SEO friendly too with no canoncial restrictions. :thumbsup

For me go straight to Stripchat converts better. Almost the same revenue comparing to CB.

WTF is this - just checked my whitelabels:
Why exactly this domain in all whitelabels?

That's fucked up for sure, what about conversion?
