Web Services Reporting for Tech Savvy Publishers!
Rakuten LinkShare now offers Web Services for Publishers to access any report in the Rakuten LinkShare Publisher Dashboard. This will provide you with more flexibility in how you extract data from your Rakuten LinkShare account to combine it with other data from your business operations.
Here’s a summary of the report types that you can now access via Web Services:
| Rakuten LinkShare Web Services for Publishers | |
| Report ID | Report Name |
| 1 | Payment History – Summary |
| 2 | Payment History – Advertiser Summary |
| 3 | Payment Details |
| 4 | Sales and Activity Report |
| 5 | Revenue Report |
| 6 | Link Type Report |
| 7 | Individual Items Report |
| 8 | Product Success Report |
| 9 | Program Level Report |
| 10 | Non Commissionable Sales Report |
| 11 | Signature Activity Report |
| 12 | Signature Orders Report |
| 13 | Consolidated Advertiser Report |
| 14 | Media Optimization Report |
You can now access all these reports through Web Services just like Signature Orders Report and the Payment Reports without logging into the Publisher Dashboard. That means you can run these reports by using a direct URL and each report can be called up to 300 times a day!
We’ve created an implementation guide that provides step-by-step instructions on how to access reports through Web Services including popular reports like Sales & Activity, Signature Activity, and the Media Optimization Report.
Send us your feedback and let us know what you think of these new Web Services and what you would like to see in this area moving forward.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
