iOvation

At PowerReviews, we take authenticity of content seriously. That’s why we partner with iOvation to help fingerprint devices that submit content into our system and screen that content for fraud.

iOvation provides scripts that load client-side in browsers that assign unique identifiers to that device. During content submission into PowerReviews, those unique identifiers live along side the content itself and help our content operations and moderation team rejection improper content.

iOvation device fingerprint information is a​ required field​ for review submission using the PowerReviews API. Below are instructions on how to integrate the technology into your experience.

Steps Required

  1. Place the iOvation script-tag on Write-a-Revieiw submission pages or screens in the <head> tag.
//Test Account
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="https://ci-mpsnare.iovation.com/snare.js"></script>
//Production
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="https://mpsnare.iesnare.com/snare.js"></script>
  1. Find the "BlackBox" value returned from the script.
    This should be returned from the function ioGetBlackbox().blackbox once the page has loaded.
  2. Sumbit that value with the review content.
    During Write-a-Review Step 2, payload the value as a string with your content submission via JSON <POST>. Partial payload example below, full payload example in the PowerReiews API developer documentation:
