AffiliationSoftware's API

What Is it?

AffiliationSoftware has an API (Application Programming Interface) that allows developers to directly connect with the affiliate network and do certain actions automatically. For example, you can automatically approve or decline affiliate transactions based on the order status, or automatically signup an affiliate when he register to your site, and much more.


HOW IT WORKS?

The AffiliationSoftware API can be called up using the cURL function and by sending data via POST method. The result of each API call returns a JSON message. To use the API you need to use your URL and your key, which are available in the settings page of the admin panel.
