Click URL format?

[Dan Adams]

Hey all. What's the URL format for clicking through to the source site?

For instance, for this deal: http://yipit.com/aff/eval/deal/?deal=7fYu5mfE&key=FOO

The click URL is: http://yipit.com/aff/click/?subid1=web-seo&key=BAR&deal=7fYu5mfE

What's the difference in key? Is it important?

Thanks!

The key is used to pass API users' affiliate credentials to the deal source so that they can generate commissions.

Hey Dave. Thanks! Right, but where do I get the deal key used in the click URL from the JSON returned by the deals API?

Our terms require that the 'url' from the API call be used. This directs to a Yipit hosted deal page. From there, users can click off to the third party deal page. Affiliate information is passed along using this method.
