Hi Precision Marketing Dev community,

in this tutorial i'm going to share with you a Java sample code that will help you build your calls to the Precision Marketing Device API.

we will connect to the SPM Trial data set (New York Grocery) and retrieve the offers available around a particular place in New York (Latitude=40.774960& Longitude=-73.967755)




If you do not already have your trial credentials, please request a Trial Account from the SPM Developer community page


The Java code below will:

    - (1) Register an Anonymous User

    - (2) Create a limited session

    - (3) Get the Offers

How to get this code to work?

  1. Create you Java Package and copy/paste the java code.
  2. replace your developer_ID and secret
  3. Reference the GSON library in your eclipse
  4. Check that there are no errors and run the code as Java application

You should get the response below:
