What is API v3?

At its core, an API (Application Programming Interface) is the “bridge” between software systems: it allows your shop, your ERP, your CRM, or any other application to talk directly to Post Affiliate Pro, pull and push data, and automate workflows.

The new API v3 (RESTful API) is a modernized version built using the REST (Representational State Transfer) standard. This means it uses straightforward web methods like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE, and returns clear, structured data in JSON format. This makes it much easier for any system or developer to connect with Post Affiliate Pro, automate routine processes, and keep your affiliate data synchronized in real time.

API v3 in Post Affiliate Pro

With API v3, Post Affiliate Pro introduces a modern way to integrate your affiliate program with your business tools. Every part of your affiliate system, such as affiliates, campaigns, banners, transactions, statistics, and more, can be managed through API calls.

For merchants, this means you can automate key tasks that would normally take hours. For example, new affiliate applications can automatically become approved, and all performance data can be sent straight to your dashboards or reporting tools. By reducing manual work, API v3 helps you scale your affiliate program while your systems work together seamlessly in the background.
