Changelog Updates and new features

API deals and Linkbuilder

API Deals

Networks provide different types of links with Deals, a deep link to the product page, a tracking link or sometimes an HTML code. These links are mixed in the url field of our API and you have to manage all cases. We have added 2 new fields in the API:

• deeplink: deep link to the product page (without tracking)
• trackinglink: tracked link to the Deal

So you can use one of the fields according to your need. We also applied a cleanup to extract for example links to HTML code.

Linkbuilder

We have enabled the LinkBuilder for the Kwanko "API 2021" connector.

New network: Indoleads

We have added a new affiliate platform: Indoleads

You can access to transactions, revenues, program statuses and the link builder on Strackr.

Removed Deals

Sometimes Deals can be deleted by advertisers before their expiration dates, in this case we have added a new status "removed" so you can be informed of the suppression.

When you use our API to retrieve Deals with the "active" and "upcoming" filters you don't have to make any changes to your code as the "removed" Deals will be ignored. Otherwise, you will have to consider this new status in order not to display these Deals to your users.
