VigLink (Sovrn Commerce)

VigLink pioneered automatic affiliate link monetization for publishers, turning ordinary product links into revenue-generating affiliate links across a network of tens of thousands of merchants. Founded in 2009 and backed by investors including Uncork Capital, VigLink was acquired by Sovrn in early 2018 and now operates as Sovrn Commerce. The product's public APIs still run on VigLink infrastructure (api.viglink.com, rest.viglink.com, viglink.io) and cover link monetization checks, real-time bid checks, campaigns, real-time revenue reporting, merchant summaries, product recommendations, promo codes, and price comparisons, documented on the Sovrn Developer Center alongside a hosted Commerce MCP server for AI agents.

VigLink (Sovrn Commerce) publishes 8 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Account API, Ai Orchestration API, Bid API, and 5 more. Tagged areas include Affiliate Marketing, Commerce, Monetization, Publishers, and Links.

VigLink (Sovrn Commerce)’s developer surface includes authentication, sandbox, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, and 34 more developer resources.
