Affiliate marketing API — programme API, integration & multi-network automation

Illustrative merchant + coupons shape

Your integration typically calls firm and coupon list endpoints separately; this composite shows how a product screen might join them. Field names follow customer OpenAPI (provider, networkName, etc.). network below is a readable label; API responses use machine provider slugs.

{
  "merchant": {
    "name": "Nike",
    "network": "CJ",
    "provider": "cj_affiliate",
    "networkName": "Nike US"
  },
  "coupons": [
    {
      "title": "10% Off",
      "code": "SAVE10",
      "offerUrl": "https://…"
    }
  ]
}

Frequently asked questions

What is an affiliate marketing API?

An affiliate marketing API is the developer-facing layer publishers use to automate coupon sites, cashback apps, and internal tools — listing programmes, merchants, and promotions without manual exports. Feedico serves as an affiliate marketing API by unifying multi-network catalogue and coupon data in one REST contract.

What is an affiliate API?

An affiliate API is a programmatic interface that returns merchant programmes, coupons, and deal metadata from affiliate networks as structured JSON. Feedico's affiliate API normalizes firms and coupons from CJ, Awin, Impact, and other sources behind one bearer token and pagination model.

What is API in affiliate marketing?

In affiliate marketing, an API lets software request programme catalogues and promo codes instead of CSV exports or dashboards. Feedico's affiliate API is that interface for multi-network publishers who already hold network approvals.

What is an affiliate program API?

An affiliate program API exposes enrolled merchant programmes (firms), status, and linked promotions for publishers approved on each network. Feedico maps upstream programme rows into a consistent affiliate program API shape so your product code stays stable when networks rename fields.

How does affiliate API integration work with Feedico?

Connect network credentials in the dashboard, generate a bearer token, and call list endpoints for firms and coupons. One affiliate API integration replaces parallel clients per network — see the publisher API hub for a topic map and the unified affiliate API page for architecture.

Do I still need network approval?

Yes. Feedico does not replace enrolment or compliance at each affiliate network. You connect your own credentials and must stay approved for the programmes you promote. Feedico normalizes and delivers data - it does not grant access to merchants you have not legitimately joined.

Can I combine multiple affiliate networks?

Yes. Connect multiple sources in the dashboard; firm and coupon list responses can include rows from every connected provider. Use filters such as provider and availableProviders metadata to segment or merge networks in one integration. See also the affiliate network API narrative for multi-network positioning.

Does Feedico host affiliate links?

Feedico stores and serves normalized programme, merchant, and promotion metadata (for example offer URLs returned by your connected integrations). You remain responsible for outbound tracking links, disclosures, and how click traffic is attributed in line with each network's policies and your own product terms.

Is this an attribution SDK?

No. Feedico focuses on data delivery - merchant/firm listings and coupon or deal rows - over HTTPS JSON. You implement click routing, conversion tracking, and attribution in ways each network allows; Feedico is not a drop-in measurement SDK.

How are quotas handled?

Customer API usage is metered: successful calls to account-scoped list endpoints count against your plan's monthly quota (UTC calendar month). When limits are exceeded, the API returns a documented error so you can backoff, cache, or upgrade. Exact numbers appear in plan copy and documentation.
