Networks
Amazon Associates
Product search and link construction via the Amazon Creators API (the successor to PA-API 5, which retired in May 2026). Amazon exposes no earnings API, so transactions are honestly unsupported.

Attribution tags travel as ascsubtag on every link minted through this network.
Good to know
- Eligibility: the Creators API requires roughly 10 qualifying sales in the trailing 30 days. Access pauses after about 30 idle days and resumes automatically after the next shipped sale.
- Initial quota is 1 request per second and 8,640 per day, scaling with qualified sales. AffiliateOS enforces this per account and honors Retry-After on 429s.
- Credentials are regional (NA, EU, FE) rather than per-marketplace. Two credential generations exist; version 3 (Login with Amazon) is the default for new apps.
- Links are detail-page URLs carrying your own tag plus ascsubtag for attribution. No link API call is needed.
- There is no earnings feed: get_transactions returns NOT_SUPPORTED for Amazon. Report-CSV import is planned as a dashboard feature.
Raw network payloads are stored for audit in your account only and are never exposed through webhooks or pooled across users.
