Operations

Check product status

Request

Check if the product is active.

Path

product_idinteger(int64)>= 1required

The ID of the product.

Example: 1234

Query

is_updateboolean

You can use this flag in conjunction with the Moderation Setting of your product.

In case you want to limit the activation of your product to new instances only (say after migrating to Freemius) you can check the relevant settings from the Developer Dashboard and from your product make an API request like below:

If your product is already active in some device before joining Freemius - Set value to true.
Otherwise set value to false.

This will also work with any “Activation limitation” you have put in your Moderation settings.

Default false

curl -i -X GET \
  'https://api.freemius.com/v1/products/1234/is_active.json?is_update=false' \
