Hi all,

Jazz again. Please do not be mad.

I would like to know what is API? Why do we need API? How to do it?

An application program interface (API) is a set of routines, protocols, and tools for building software applications. Basically, an API specifies how software components should interact.

I don't know what you are up to, so I dont know if you need an API?

Hi,
I read an article about API that she mentioned is very important to affiliate marketing. And I am not sure why we need that.
Have you used API to your own marketing?

One example of leveraging API in affiliate marketing is by connecting a traffic source and tracker to a platform like TheOptimizer, then automate your repetitive tasks.

Lol true, thanks. But I think 50% of affiliates never used an API honestly(for mediabuy/tracking) So it’s not needed, before we push a newbie into complicated stuff.

Was the closest example for non-coders I could come up
