Overview and basic information

API

Affiliate partners have an API (a programming interface) available, which they can use to automatically
find out information about their commission account, referrals, orders and commissions.

Thanks to the API you can connect the affiliate system to your own application, an internal system
or automate the monitoring of new events in your commission account.

The API is intended for more advanced integration and automation.

What you can obtain through the API

basic information about the partner account and the status of commissions
partner method

a code list of advertisers in the commission system
advertisers method

a code list of products including current commission rates
products method

a list of the partner’s text campaigns
campaigns method

a list of the partner’s ad spaces
boards method

a list of referrals (clicks)
entries method

a list of referred orders
orders method

movements on the Credit Account (commissions, bonuses, payouts)
account method

The methods for obtaining lists have common input parameters and a uniform output data structure,
including support for pagination and filtering.
You will find the details in the documentation in the section API – lists.

How to activate API access

You activate API access after logging in to the partner administration in the section
Account, settings – API settings.

Here you generate an API key, which works similarly to a password
and is used to authenticate requests.

You can create several API keys and optionally restrict each of them to specific IP addresses.

Communication with the API

Communication with the API takes place exclusively over HTTPS and the GET method is used.
Some methods accept parameters directly in the URL address (GET parameters).
Responses are returned in JSON format.

Partner authentication is done using special HTTP headers,
in which the ID of the API key and the API key itself are given.

You will find a detailed description in the documentation in the section
Basics of communication and authentication.

API limits

Max 1000 requests per hour
from one IP address

Max 1000 requests per hour
per partner

If you are planning an intensive integration, count on these limits when designing your application.
