CJ Affiliate

CJ Affiliate (formerly Commission Junction) is one of the largest affiliate marketing networks, connecting publishers with thousands of advertiser programs. Its developer platform is primarily a modern GraphQL API - the Commission Detail API at commissions.api.cj.com and the Product Search / ads GraphQL API at ads.api.cj.com - covering commission and transaction data, product feeds, and advertiser discovery. A set of legacy REST APIs (Link Search, Advertiser Lookup, Publisher Lookup, and the legacy Product Search) remains documented for finding links, advertisers, publishers, and products. All APIs authenticate with a personal access token (Bearer) created in the CJ developer portal.

CJ Affiliate publishes 5 APIs on the APIs.io network, including CJ Commission Detail API, Advertiser Lookup API, Link Search API, and 2 more. Tagged areas include Affiliate Marketing, Affiliate Network, Commission, Product Search, and Publisher.

CJ Affiliate’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, and 8 more developer resources.
