On Affise, you can manage the platform via API. To start working with API, you need an API key and API URL.
To work with requests, you can use free API-development tools such as Postman, Insomnia, Advanced REST client, etc.
Types of data and methods
In the Affise API, you may work with the following types of data:
Integer: only for integer values: offer ID, affiliate ID, etc.
String: includes integer values, letters, and characters: country code, cap type, payment type, etc.
Array: used with multiple values: affiliates in caps, goals in caps, etc.
