Research direction

Start with posthog/temporal/data_imports/sources/appsflyer/appsflyer.py and settings.py, focusing on the daily report endpoint and its AppsFlyerEndpointConfig. Verify the endpoint and report name against the valid AppsFlyer paths described in the issue. Done means valid credentials pass backend validation and the AppsFlyer source proceeds to table selection.

Bug Description

The AppsFlyer data warehouse source rejects valid AppsFlyer credentials with:

Invalid AppsFlyer API token or app id

The credentials are valid. The backend validation appears to call an invalid AppsFlyer aggregate report endpoint.

PostHog appears to call:

/api/agg-data/export/app/{app_id}/dailyreport/v5

AppsFlyer returns:

400 Invalid query: Unknown report type: dailyreport

The valid endpoint is:

/api/agg-data/export/app/{app_id}/daily_report/v5

With the same app ID and token, these AppsFlyer endpoints return HTTP 200 directly:

  • daily_report/v5
  • geo_by_date_report/v5
  • partners_by_date_report/v5

This blocks creating the AppsFlyer data warehouse source in PostHog Cloud.

How to reproduce

  1. Go to Data warehouse > New source > AppsFlyer.
  2. Enter a valid AppsFlyer API token V2 and a valid iOS app ID, e.g. id....
  3. Click Next.

Expected: PostHog validates the credentials and proceeds to table selection.

Actual: PostHog returns Invalid AppsFlyer API token or app id.

Additional context

Relevant code in the current PostHog repo:

posthog/temporal/data_imports/sources/appsflyer/appsflyer.py

f"{APPSFLYER_BASE_URL}/api/agg-data/export/app/{quote(app)}/dailyreport/v5"

This should likely be:

f"{APPSFLYER_BASE_URL}/api/agg-data/export/app/{quote(app)}/daily_report/v5"

Also in:

posthog/temporal/data_imports/sources/appsflyer/settings.py

"daily_report": AppsFlyerEndpointConfig(
    name="daily_report",
    report="dailyreport",
),

This should likely use:

report="daily_report"
