## Affiliate Window

This gem lets you make requests to Affiliate Window's Publisher Service API. At the time of writing, it is on version 6. The API is documented here.

There is an existing gem for communicating with Affiliate Window but it looks to be unsupported and doesn't work with its Publisher Service API.

client = AffiliateWindow.login(
  account_id: 1234,
  affiliate_api_password: "your api key",
)

response = client.get_transaction_list(
  start_date: "2006-08-04T00:00:00",
  end_date: "2006-08-14T23:59:59",
  date_type: "transaction",
)

response.dig(:results, :transaction, 0)
#=> {
#  i_id: "1",
#  s_status: "confirmed",
#  b_paid: true,
#  m_sale_amount: {
#    d_amount: "50.00",
#    s_currency: "GBP"
#  },
#  ...

The gem follows the convention that all API methods are called by their snake case name. Parameter names mirror the API, for example:

iMerchantId -> merchant_id
aTransactionIds -> transaction_ids
aStatus -> status

If the endpoint returns metadata about how many records were returned, this is returned in the pagination key of the output, e.g.

response
#=> {
#  pagination: {
#    i_rows_returned: "10",
#    i_rows_available: "50"
#  }

The API provides a daily quota of 15,000 requests per account. The remaining quota is returned in the header of each response. If this quota is reached, subsequent requests to the API will raise errors.

You can check the remaining quota with:

client.remaining_quota
#=> 14997

You can print the SOAP request bodies by enabling debug mode:

client.debug = true
client.get_merchant_list
# <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
# ...
