Article summary

Awin offers a set of API calls that allow advertisers and publishers to pull data such as transactions and aggregated reports. The API uses REST as a standard, with OAuth2 for authentication, and JSON as the default response data format.

Note

The Advertiser Service API is available only for the Awin Advanced and Awin Accelerate Plans.

Accessing the API

Before you can use the API, you must create your own OAuth2 token on the Awin API page of the Awin UI.

The API is available at https://api.awin.com.

Note

The API supports forwarding from HTTPS only, and does not support forwarding from HTTP. For more information, refer to the API authentication and authorization page.

Limitations and Throttling

To ensure consistent functionality for all publishers and advertisers, Awin has a throttling system in place that limits the number of API requests to 20 API calls per minute per user. 

Using the try it feature in the API Documentation

You must have an advertiser or publisher account that will allow you to obtain the OAuth2 token which can be used in the try it now features. If you are interested in creating an account on Awin please sign up.
