Recently LinkShare launched a Coupon Web Service designed to help publishers stay on top of the latest consumer offers from LinkShare Advertisers. I would like to let you know about the addition of two NEW promotional categories just in time for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Starting this week, you’ll be able to set up a web service call that will download these short-run promotions directly to your web site.
Format for a Web Service call for all Black Friday offers available to you:
http://feed.linksynergy.com/coupon?token=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&promotiontype=30&network=1
Format for a Web service call for all Cyber Monday offers available to you:
http://feed.linksynergy.com/coupon?token=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&promotiontype=31&network=1
The new parameters added to the API are ‘promotiontype’ codes:
Black Friday = 30
Cyber Monday = 31
Replace the token=XXXXX with your Web Services token found in the dashboard, and you’ll be ready to go!
You can find more information on the LinkShare Coupon Web Service in the help center. Please note you have to apply to access the Coupon Web Service. You can apply in the Web Services section of the Publisher Dashboard here, select Coupon Web Service.
Happy Holidays!
Nicole Prodoehl, Network Development Manager
