Affiliate API Discovery is a research skill for deciding which integrations can actually be automated.
What it maps
- Publisher API versus vendor/merchant API role
- Authentication model
- Relationship status
- Program terms
- Deep links and offers
- Transactions and merchant updates
- Webhooks or postbacks
- MCP when officially documented
- Rate limits and account scope
Finding API documentation does not make a connector live. Credentials, account identity and a tested server adapter are separate gates.
