  , options
  , client

options = {
  "apiKey":      "MY_API_KEY",
  "affiliateId": "100500",
  "baseUrl":     "https://cake.coolnetwork.com",
  "rawResponse": true
}

client = new CakeAffiliateAPI(options)

client.offerFeed({offerStatusId: 3}, handleResult)

function handleResult(err, data) {
  if (err) {
    // handle error...
  }
  else {
    handleData(data)
  }
}

API

Keep in mind that every API option which is passed in camelcase is underscored before making HTTP call. So it's OK to name options like mediaTypeCategoryId (converted to media_type_category_id).

addLinkCreative(campaignId, data, callback)

data options:

• creativeName (required)
• offerLink (required)
• description defaults to null

applyForOffer(offerContractId, data, callback)

data options:

• mediaTypeId (required)
• notes defaults to null
• agreedToTerms defaults to false
• agreedFromIpAddress (required)

creativeFeed(exportFeedId, updatesSince, callback)

getCampaign(campaignId, callback)

getCreativeCode(campaignId, creativeId, callback)

getCreativeTypes(callback)

getFeaturedOffer(callback)

getMediaTypeCategories(callback)

getOfferStatuses(callback)

getPixelTokens(callback)

getSubAffiliates(query, callback)

query options:

• startAtRow defaults to 1
• rowLimit defaults to 0

getSupressionList(offerId, callback)

getTags(callback)

getVerticalCategories(callback)

getVerticals(callback)

offerFeed(query, callback)

query options:

• campaignName defaults ''
• mediaTypeCategoryId defaults to 0
• verticalCategoryId defaults to 0
• verticalId defaults to 0
• offerStatusId defaults to 0
• tagId defaults to 0
• startAtRow defaults to 1
• rowLimit defaults to 0

sendCreativePack(campaignId, creativeId, contactId, callback)

setPixel(campaignId, pixelHtml, callback)

setPostbackURL(campaignId, postbackURL, callback)

setTestLink(campaignId, testLink, callback)

Options

• apiKey defaults to null

  • API key. Read Affiliate API Documentation Notes to know where to get it.

• affiliateId defaults to null

  • Affiliate Id. Read documentation above.

• baseUrl defaults to null

  • API endpoint of CAKE-based network.

• rawResponse defaults false

  • If true xml2js is not called for XML response and it's returned as string.

• parser defaults to null

  • Should be a function like parse(xmlString, callback) where callback accepts (err, response)

• xml2jsOptions defaults to {explicitArray: false}

  • Options passed to xml2js.parseString(). If specified will overwrite defaults. Also if specified, client won't try to process response smartly (i.e. if response outputs collection it will return raw xml2js output instead of array).

FAQ

Why module is writted on CoffeeScript but compiled to JavaScript after npm install?

I really like CoffeeScript for fast module development but dislike when people do something like this:

require('coffee-script');
require('./module.coffee');

Why should we do this if in the end all is compiled to JavaScript? :wink:

TODO

• Implement ALL APIs
