• CRUD for affiliates and referrals with support for pagination, sorting and advanced filters (including date, status, traffic source, campaign).
• Advanced authorization: Support for API keys, OAuth2, and JWT integration, enabling secure connections to external applications.
• Embed Relationship Capability – Download an affiliate along with its associated referrals and payouts in a single API request.
• Bulk endpoints – Bulk affiliate imports/exports, updating referral statuses and generating reports in batch mode.
• Filters and field mappings allowing you to adapt the response structure to the requirements of external systems.
• CORS support, query limiting, and endpoint-level result caching for better performance.
• API request auditing and logging mechanisms with the ability to export logs to external SIEM systems.

Benefits for the store owner and marketing teams

Integration using AffiliateWP REST API Extended accelerates the implementation of headless solutions, mobile apps, and advanced affiliate dashboards. Extended endpoints and filtering capabilities provide the marketing team with accurate campaign performance data, while finance provides standardized reports for affiliate billing. Developers can quickly create integrations with CRMs, BI tools, or marketplace platforms, avoiding manual CSV exports and data synchronization.

Example applications

• A mobile app for partners that retrieves referral and balance data via secure endpoints.
• Automatic synchronization of affiliates and payouts with your accounting or payroll system.
• Integration with marketing automation tools to launch campaigns based on affiliate activity.
• BI analytical dashboard combining sales data with affiliate data to optimize commissions and campaigns.
• Billing platforms and marketplaces using remote APIs to instantly calculate commissions.

Security, Compliance and Scalability

The extension emphasizes secure authentication and permission control, allowing you to precisely define which resources are accessible to specific API keys. Query limits and caching support help prevent overloads during high traffic volumes, while logging and request auditing capabilities facilitate compliance with GDPR requirements and internal security policies.
