SkimBit Ltd, operating as Skimlinks, is a London-founded content-monetization and affiliate-marketing platform (now part of Taboola) that helps publishers and content creators earn commerce revenue from the products and merchants they mention in editorial content. Skimlinks automatically affiliates outbound merchant links, tracks the resulting clicks and commissions across thousands of affiliate networks and merchant programs, and pays publishers a share of the revenue. For developers, Skimlinks exposes a suite of publisher-facing REST APIs — the Merchant API (merchant programs, domains, verticals and offers), the Reporting API (raw commissions, aggregated performance, trending/purchased products, payment status and deactivated merchants) and the Product Key API (product details, pricing, availability and merchant alternatives across a billion+ product offers) — plus the Skimlinks JavaScript on-page monetization script and a batch Data Pipe delivering event-level clicks, impressions, commissions and product-purchase data to cloud storage.
