Integrations (API keys)

Create, revoke and delete API keys for the REST API, scoped to the whole network, reports only, or one partner. For network admins.

API keys let other systems use the Affilinext API — a BI tool reading reports, a partner pulling their stats, a script creating campaigns. Each key has a role that limits what it can do.

Fields and settings

FieldWhat it does
Key roleWhat the key may do. Values: Admin full read and write access to the network; Read-only can read everything an admin key can, never write; Reports reads /api/v1/reports/* and /me only; Publisher one publisher's own data and traffic; Advertiser one advertiser's own campaigns and conversions. Effect: Publisher and advertiser keys must be tied to an account; they can never see or create traffic for anyone else.

How to use it

  1. Press Create API Key, name it after where it will be used, and choose the narrowest role that works.
  2. For a Publisher or Advertiser key, pick the account.
  3. Copy the token immediately — it's shown only once.
  4. Revoke or delete keys that are no longer used.

Limitations

  • Restricted: Only the Super Admin can create keys.
  • Depends on: Requires the API access & API keys plan feature.
  • Not supported: A lost token can't be shown again — create a new key and revoke the old one.

Common mistakes

  • Giving a partner an Admin key — Admin keys can change the whole network. Use a Publisher or Advertiser key bound to their account.
  • Putting the key in a URL — URLs end up in logs. Send it in a header.
