Unified affiliate API
Connect CJ, Awin, Impact & more through one API
Definition: A unified affiliate API is a single REST interface that aggregates merchant and coupon data from multiple affiliate networks (such as CJ, Awin, and Impact) with one schema, one bearer token, and one pagination model — instead of maintaining a separate client per network.
This page is the pillar map for affiliate network API consolidation: upstream sources, normalization, and your downstream stack. For field mechanics see the affiliate API reference; for deep comparisons browse the guides linked below.

Integration timeline: manual stack vs Feedico
Illustrative engineering ranges from publisher interviews — your mileage varies by team size and scope. Full TCO breakdown →
| Milestone | Manual per network | With unified API |
|---|---|---|
| First network in production | 4–8 weeks (auth + mapping + ops) | Days (connect + same client) |
| Each additional network | 3–6 weeks (new schema branch) | Hours–days (dashboard connection) |
| Quarterly upstream drift | Recurring tickets per vendor | Absorbed in sync layer |
| Five-network roadmap | Often 6–12+ months | Weeks to parallel connections |
Why teams use Feedico
Faster integrations
One client to implement — new programmes don't reset your roadmap.
One schema
Firms and coupons share predictable shapes; filters and pagination work the same way.
Lower maintenance
Network-specific drift is handled on our side, not in every service you deploy.
Multi-network support
Eight supported source families mapped into one surface.
Unified auth
Bearer token from your account — no juggling five OAuth models in production.
Supported networks
Pick your use case
Coupon & deal sites →
Aggregate live coupons from multiple networks without one client per programme.
Cashback & rewards apps →
Normalize merchant and coupon feeds so cashback math stays consistent.
WordPress publishers →
Power blocks and shortcodes from one token-backed API instead of scrapers.
Internal commerce tools →
BI and ops dashboards consume one JSON contract — no duplicate ETL per network.

Frequently asked questions
What is a unified affiliate API?
A unified affiliate API is a single REST interface that aggregates merchant and coupon data from multiple affiliate networks (such as CJ, Awin, and Impact) with one schema, one bearer token, and one pagination model — instead of maintaining a separate client per network.
How is a unified affiliate API different from each network's native API?
Native APIs expose network-specific fields, auth flows, and pagination. A unified layer normalizes firms and coupons into one JSON contract so your product code stays stable when you add networks or when upstream schemas drift.
Does Feedico replace my affiliate network accounts?
No. You still need programme approval and compliance at each network. Feedico connects to credentials you authorize and surfaces normalized rows through one customer API.
Which affiliate networks does Feedico support?
CJ Affiliate, Awin, Impact, Partnerize, Admitad, TradeTracker, Takeads, and Take Deals — connect the sources your account is approved for; responses can include provider metadata for provenance.
How long does it take to integrate Feedico vs wiring networks manually?
Manual first-network integrations often take 4–8 engineering weeks per network (auth, schema mapping, pagination, ops). With Feedico, teams typically connect credentials in the dashboard and call the same list endpoints within days — see the integration timeline table on this page.
Can I try the API before creating an account?
Yes. The /demo page offers a read-only sample (CJ, Awin, Impact filters) when showcase mode is enabled. You can also import openapi-customer.yaml into Postman after sign-up.
When should I still call network APIs directly?
When you need network-exclusive reporting, deep account administration, or fields that only first-party endpoints expose. Feedico optimizes multi-network catalogue and coupon consumption in your product.
