# Record an in-app store sheet tap and get what keeps the deep link

> Record an in-app store sheet tap and get what keeps the deep link (new).

`POST /v1/store-sheet`

Auth: publishable key as publishableKey in the JSON body. Safe in apps and websites.

New. Called by the SDKs (Strait.openStoreSheet) just before an app shows the app store inside itself: Google Play inline install on Android, SKOverlay / SKStoreProductViewController on iPhone. Records a tap with sent_to 'store_sheet' (not billed while the store sheet is new). Android gets the Play Install Referrer string (strait_link + strait_click, matched exactly by /v1/referrer); iPhone gets the App Store id, the link's campaign as the ct token and, with Paste handoff on, a one-time handoff link. This works inside your own app only; a link tapped inside another company's app cannot open a store sheet there.

| Field | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `publishableKey` (required) | `string` |  |
| `url` (required) | `string` | A short link of the key's workspace |
| `deviceClass` | `"phone" | "tablet"` | What the app runs on (iPad = tablet); phone when not sent |
| `platform` (required) | `"android" | "ios"` |  |

```bash
