URL syntax
Uniform Resource Locator (URL or web address) refers to a web resource that specifies its location on a computer network and a mechanism for retrieving it.
The general form of this syntax is as follows: <protocol>://<hostname>/<pathname>?<query>
Elements of this syntax explained:
<protocol> Hypertext Transfer Protocol, which can be https (secured) or http (not secured)
<hostname> An Internet host. RedTrack.io provided the service domain something.rdtk.io for that purpose. Usually, it is changed to a custom tracking domain for your tracking links.
<pathname> A resource location path. This is usually a full directory path.
<query> An optional query or other information to be passed to the server when the resource is accessed.
These macros should be united with “=”. If there are several parameters, they need to be separated with the “&” symbol: sub1={affsub1}&country={country}. It is not an obligatory parameter and can be skipped if its usage is not required.
The scheme below illustrates this common syntax and its elements using an example of the https URL:
<hash> – placeholders for unique parameters.
RedTrack supported parameters
A dynamic parameter is something that is dynamically replaced with real value during the tracking process. A dynamic parameter is also known as a variable, token, macro, or dynamic variable.
