Plan availability

Our Advertiser APIs are available for Awin Accelerate and Awin Advanced plans as default. Awin Access accounts may use APIs if an account user is listed on more than one Awin program, regardless of plan.

What is API

Application Program Interfaces (APIs) enable advertisers with developer resources to automate various tasks within the Awin network that they would normally have to carry out manually.

Our APIs offer a set of calls that allows you to pull data about the transactions on your program as well as reporting data on your program performance.

To find out about Awin’s APIs and which APIs are available, check our API Documentation.

How to access the API

APIs are available via https://api.awin.com. Please note that only https is supported, no forwarding from http is in place.

Before you can use Awin’s API, you need to create your own oauth2 token. You can view a guide to this here.

Limitation/throttling

To guarantee smooth operation for all our partners and advertisers, we currently have a throttling in place that limits the number of API requests to 20 API calls per minute per user.

Tips for using the APIs

Transactions validation API

  • It can approve, decline or amend sales/leads.

  • We recommend sending the request in line with invoicing times, e.g., if you are invoiced twice monthly, set the request by midday CET on 15th of the month and the last day of the month.

Conversion API

The Conversion API is a streamlined solution for server-to-server tracking. It simplifies integration, ensures secure authentication, and provides real-time transaction updates - making it easier for advertisers to track and validate conversions accurately.

Key benefits

  • Easy integration - Built with a familiar API format, making setup quick and straightforward for engineers.

  • Secure and reliable - All transactions are authenticated, reducing fraud and improving data accuracy.

  • Real-time updates - Automatically receive status updates on transactions (successful, pending, or failed) with detailed failure reasons.

  • Trusted tracking - Authenticated data ensures accurate attribution and protects revenue.

  • Precision - Validate and track transactions with more confidence.

  • Flexible reporting - Customize tracking to suit your business needs.

  • Zapier integration - Set up without coding (perfect for non-technical users).

Features

  • Transaction parameters - Capture key details like transaction date, Publisher ID, and click time for better validation and reporting.

  • Batch submission - Send multiple transactions at once, even after the sale, with accurate timestamps.

  • Improved accuracy - Enhanced data insights help optimize campaigns and understand performance better.
