Trcker Radar

Overview

Trcker Radar is the fraud intelligence layer built into every Trcker account. It scores every click in real time using threat feeds, behavioral analysis, and configurable rules.

Detection Signals

Radar evaluates 8 signals on every click:

| Signal | What it checks | |--------|---------------| | IP reputation | Known proxies, VPNs, datacenter ranges | | Device fingerprint | Spoofed or headless browser signatures | | Click velocity | Clicks per IP/device/sub-ID in a time window | | Session behavior | Navigation patterns consistent with real users | | Geographic consistency | IP location vs timezone and language headers | | Conversion timing | Time between click and conversion event | | Referrer analysis | Valid referrer chain vs direct/spoofed | | User agent scoring | Known bot signatures and anomalies |

Configuring Rules

Navigate to Radar > Rules in your dashboard. Each rule has three components:

  1. Condition — The signal and threshold (e.g., "Click velocity > 30/hour from same IP")
  2. Scope — Where the rule applies: global, per partner, or per campaign
  3. Action — What happens when the rule triggers: flag, throttle, or block

Default Rules

New accounts start with recommended defaults:

  • Block clicks from known datacenter IPs
  • Flag click velocity > 50/hour per IP
  • Flag conversion timing < 2 seconds
  • Flag geographic mismatches (IP country vs Accept-Language)

You can modify thresholds or add new rules at any time.

Enforcement Actions

| Action | Behavior | |--------|----------| | Flag | Click is recorded and marked suspicious. Appears in Radar dashboard but counts normally. | | Throttle | Click is recorded but excluded from conversion attribution after the threshold is exceeded. | | Block | Click is rejected at the edge. Returns a 204 response and does not record a click event. |

Dashboard

The Radar dashboard shows:

  • Fraud score by partner — Percentage of flagged/blocked clicks per partner
  • Blocked volume — Total blocked clicks over time
  • Rule triggers — Which rules fired and how often
  • Evidence export — Download CSV of flagged clicks for partner discussions

API Access

Radar data is available via the API:

` GET /api/v1/radar/scores?partnerId=xxx&from=2026-04-01&to=2026-04-30 `

Returns per-click fraud scores, triggered rules, and enforcement actions.

FAQ

Is Radar included on all plans? Yes. Radar is enabled by default on every Trcker account.

Can I override a block for a specific partner? Yes. Add a partner-level exception rule that sets the action to "flag" instead of "block."

Does blocking affect my click counts? Blocked clicks return a 204 and are not recorded as click events. They appear only in the Radar dashboard.
