Why REST API is the most flexible tracking solution😍

REST API ensures robust and adaptable integration between systems due to its unique aspects:

🔒 Secure authorization (via the API key) - The system will only accept the authorized calls to the Tapfiliate API. Any attempts to create an action without a secret API key will fail, ensuring the safety of your setup.
🎨 Customizable requests (you can collect more data when tracking) - Unlike some of our pre-made integrations, the REST API is very flexible in terms of data that can be passed along with your API requests - whether it defines an alternate commission type, referrer information, or any additional data passed within the meta_data parameter.
🥊 Ad-blockers resistant (accurate tracking) - REST API is a frontend integration, which means you don't have to add any tracking script inside your website pages. Therefore, any ad-blocking software or extension will not affect the tracking process, as it only applies to the third-party tracking codes on the website.
💻 No need to install the tracking code — This factor makes the REST API an excellent fit for CMS-based websites where it's not allowed to add custom code. It also makes it an excellent solution for connecting the applications (if your affiliate campaign is not website-oriented), so you can integrate the web/mobile app with Tapfiliate via API endpoints.
↕️ Avoids cross-domain limitations - Assuming you don't need to rely on the tracking code, the REST API also helps cover the cases where your customer's flow includes multiple instances located on different domains/systems, which is not natively possible within code-based integrations.

What do you need to set up the REST API tracking in Tapfiliate 🔧

To successfully integrate, ensure you have the following:

A live Tapfiliate account with access to your API key. Your API key is generated and stored at the bottom of your Profile Settings page:
Admin/developer access to your server - required to process the API scenarios and send the data on tracking events from your side to the Tapfiliate server.
A test affiliate added to your account ( 👉 here's how you can create one).

The essential integration steps ⚙️

Step 1. Locate your affiliate referral link

In your Affiliates overview, you can choose a test affiliate and copy their referral link. You will need the code that goes after ?ref=abcdefg to attribute the further actions to a specific affiliate in the program.

Step 2. Create a click

Using your affiliate's referral code, create a click via this API endpoint:

https://api.tapfiliate.com/1.6/clicks/

Request example:

{

"referral_code":"ytg4zwq",

}

A response to this endpoint will contain the click_id value - you can use it in subsequent steps when associating a particular click with a tracked customer/conversion.

💡 Store the click_id value for further actions on your database end.

Step 3. Create a conversion

Now that you have a click_id that records the visitor's data upon their access to the website/app, you can attach a conversion action via the REST API.

Here is an endpoint to call:

https://api.tapfiliate.com/1.6/conversions/

Attach and save more information within the conversion API call

referral_code (optional) - An affiliate’s referral code. This corresponds to the value of ref= in their referral link.
tracking_id (optional) - Used if you are tracking a conversion with the help of a hybrid (REST API + JavaScript) integration.
click_id (optional) - The value that was created within the click event. If you have attached any additional information to a click event, it will also be included in the conversion call response.
coupon (optional) - An alternative parameter to track the conversion by (used in cases when you attribute conversions not by a referral code or a click_id, but via the affiliate coupon value).
currency (optional) - The three-letter ISO currency code. Override the program’s default currency for this conversion by explicitly passing a currency code.
asset_id (optional) - Matching the tap_a parameter, if you are using anonymized referral links.
source_id (optional) - Matching the tap_s parameter, if you are using anonymized referral links.
external_id (optional) - A unique identifier for this conversion. It can be anything meaningful to you, like an order number, user ID, or email address. After a conversion occurs, you can find this ID alongside the conversion on our platform. This makes it very easy to cross-reference data on our platform with your own database. This ID must be unique for each conversion.
amount (optional) - The conversion amount
customer_id (optional) - The ID for the current customer in your system. Depending on your program settings, this can be used for recurring / lifetime commissions.
commission_type (optional) - If no commission type is supplied, the program's default commission type is used.
commissions (optional) - Will override the amount and commission_type parameters if set.
meta_data (optional) - Metadata for this transaction, used if you need to attach additional information to a conversion (such as product characteristics, category, quantity, etc.) that is not listed within the existing parameters above.
Child Arguments
user_agent (optional) - The client’s user agent string. Used for statistics and fraud detection.
ip (optional) - The client’s IP address. Used for fraud detection and recording the information on the GEOs.

You will be able to see the results of your API calls inside the Conversions section of your Tapfiliate account:

Verify your REST API connection 👍

The REST API integration requires you to make a test purchase via an affiliate's referral code. You can use it during testing and follow the Steps 1-3 we described above. If you'll see the integration step marked as completed in the Getting Started Guide, and the conversion/click data populating in your Tapfiliate Reporting, you're all set 🎊

What else can be covered by the REST API (Advanced Use-Cases) 🆙

As highlighted above, the REST API can support many advanced tracking scenarios. Below, we will go over some of these.

Tracking different commissions per product/different actions

When you need to assign a conversion with a different commission rate (for example, if this conversion represents a different in-platform action, a separate product, or a category), add the commission_type identifier to your API request when tracking the conversion.

API endpoint URL:

https://api.tapfiliate.com/1.6/conversions/

Request example:

{

"coupon": "CRAIG10",

"external_id": "SUB021",

"amount": 900,

"commission_type": "boyjacket",

"currency": "GBP",

"meta_data": {

"product_type": "Stainless Cord"

},

"user_agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS aarch64 13505.15.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/87.0.4280.24 Safari/537.36",

"ip": "61.168.33.16"

}

Here, we have added the commission type identifier you created to the API request to override the standard commission rate. In a response, you will see the respective commission amount. 👌

Pass additional information with a conversion/customer data

If you need to attach additional information to a conversion or a customer while tracking, the best solution is to include metadata in the conversion/customer creation call. You can also add metadata when tracking a click, and it will be included in the conversion metadata if a conversion is associated with this click.

API endpoint URL:

For conversion metadata: https://api.tapfiliate.com/1.6/conversions/
For customer metadata: https://api.tapfiliate.com/1.6/customers/
For click metadata: https://api.tapfiliate.com/1.6/clicks/

Request example:

{

"coupon": "RITA25",

"customer_id": "user_018",

"status": "trial",

"meta_data": {

"age": "29"

},

"user_agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 10; Infinix X682B) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/94.0.4606.61 Mobile Safari/537.36",

"ip": "11.106.78.125"

}

You can view the metadata attached to the Customer details in your Tapfiliate account.

Manage affiliate payouts

It's possible to automate affiliate payments through Tapfiliate's REST API as follows:

Get the outstanding balances via this endpoint: https://api.tapfiliate.com/1.6/balances/ (GET method)
Get the affiliate’s payout information: https://api.tapfiliate.com/1.6/affiliates/janejameson/payout-methods/
Complete the payment with your preferred payment provider using its API.
Create a new payment for the affiliate for the paid-out amount using this endpoint:
https://api.tapfiliate.com/1.6/payments/ (POST method)

Complete REST API library 📚

Here, you will find all endpoints available in Tapfiliate's REST API, grouped by the areas they affect and the actions they process.

General 🌐

Authentication

You should authenticate your API request by adding your API key, as X-Api-Key along in the header of every request:

X-Api-Key: “YOUR_API_KEY”

You can find and copy your API key in your account settings. To prevent unwanted interference with your tracking, you should not share your API key anywhere where others can see it (e.g., frontend JavaScript code, public repositories, screenshots, blogs, etc.).

All of your API requests must be made over HTTPS. Plain HTTP calls will fail. API requests without authentication will also fail with a 403 error.

Pagination

Requests that return multiple items will be paginated to 25 items by default. You can specify further pages with the ?page parameter.

$ curl 'https://api.tapfiliate.com/1.6/conversions/?page=2'

Page numbering is 1-based. Omitting the ?page parameter will return the first page.

The pagination info is included in the Link Header.

Link: <https://api.tapfiliate.com/1.6/conversions/?page=3>; rel="next",   <https://api.tapfiliate.com/1.6/conversions/?page=51>; rel="last"

Linebreak is included for readability.

Possible ref values:

Name	Description
next	Shows the URL of the immediate next page of results.
last	Shows the URL of the last page of results.
first	Shows the URL of the first page of results.
prev	Shows the URL of the immediate previous page of results.

Limits

Most endpoints have rate limits. Rate limits are communicated through the following headers:

Header	Description
X-Ratelimit-Limit	The total number of allowed requests within a given period
X-Ratelimit-Remaining	The number of requests you have left before exceeding the rate limit
X-Ratelimit-Reset	When your number of requests will reset (Unix Timestamp in seconds)
