The Skimlinks Merchant API is a premium technical tool available exclusively to partners in our Managed service tier. It allows for the programmatic retrieval of performance data and requires a unique Product Key for authentication.
Who can use the Merchant API?
To manage expectations and prevent technical issues, please note our access policy:
- Managed Tier Accounts: Yes. Technical teams of Managed partners can use the API to automate their reporting.
- Growth Tier Accounts: No. The API and Product Keys are not available for the Growth (Self-Service) tier.
Access Requirements (Managed Only)
If you are a Managed partner and wish to start using the API, follow these steps:
- Locate your Product Key: Go to Settings > Account in your Hub. If the field is empty, please contact your dedicated Account Manager.
- Review the Documentation: Detailed technical specifications and endpoints are available here: Merchant API
- Authentication: All requests must be authenticated using your unique Product Key.
Key Capabilities
What can developers achieve with this tool?
- Automated Data Retrieval: Pull performance and commission reports directly into your internal CRM or BI tools (like Tableau or PowerBI).
- Exclusive Rate Management: Programmatically manage and update special rates for your publisher groups.
Alternatives for Growth Tier Partners
If you are in the Growth tier and need detailed data without using an API, we recommend:
