The AffiliateWP REST API Extended expands upon AffiliateWP’s existing read-only RESTful API, offering developers and external applications the ability to not only read but also perform Create, Update, and Delete operations within the AffiliateWP databases.
This add-on empowers developers and external applications with comprehensive control over data pertaining to affiliates, creatives, referrals, visits, and payouts through the REST API. The following actions are made available:
- Create: Generate new affiliate/creative/referral/visit/payout records.
- Update: Modify existing affiliate/creative/referral/visit/payout data.
- Delete: Remove affiliate/creative/referral/visit/payout entries as needed.
The expanded capabilities of this API offer immense potential for various applications:
- External Website Integration: Tracking visits and referrals from external sites, including non-WordPress platforms.
- E-commerce Systems: Facilitating referral tracking in custom and non-WordPress eCommerce setups.
- Database Synchronization: Syncing affiliate accounts across multiple databases and servers seamlessly.
- Real-time Updates: Automatically updating affiliate accounts based on changes made through external applications.
- External Payment Processors: Generating referral records for affiliates with each order processed through an external payment gateway.
- Custom Affiliate Areas: Creating personalized affiliate sections hosted outside of the WordPress environment.
The possibilities with this extended API are vast and diverse, enabling developers to innovate and integrate AffiliateWP functionalities seamlessly into a wide array of applications and systems.
