Introduction

Authentication

Capture a lead when they sign-up or fill an optin form. This endpoint is used to track leads and sign-ups. It's not for tracking the actual sales and commissions. Sign-ups are tracked as leads in FirstPromoter so when a person referred by the promoter/affiliate signs up, a new referral should be added inside FirstPromoter **(you can see them inside the `Referrals` section as `Leads`)**. <Tip>The recommended way to do this is to grab the `_fprom_tid` **(_fprom_track for accounts created prior to April 2021)** cookie value(which keeps the tracking id and referral identification) on your server and send it along with the sign-up data through the tid parameter. **Alternative:** In some special cases, you can refer sign ups directly to a promoter, by passing the referral id through ref_id parameter. Be careful when using this because the referral id can be modified by the promoter by default, however you can disable that from the campaign configuration page.</Tip><Tip>**HTTP Request** `POST https://firstpromoter.com/api/v1/track/signup`</Tip>

Tracking leads and sign-ups

Assign sales and commissions to your promoters. To track sales and generate commissions correctly, you need to use this API call each time a non-zero amount sale is processed in your system, even if it comes from a recurring charge or one-time charge. <Note>To avoid fraudulent sales, we don't use JS conversion pixels to track sales, which are very unreliable and can be easily faked. Instead, we use server-side tracking for all sales to ensure that a sale is tracked only when you actually receive money in your billing account. To maintain the same standards with the API, we recommend making the sale API call (this call) only when you receive confirmation of the sale from your billing provider, such as from a webhook, an IPN, or a success response from an API charge call. You just need to pass the sale amount (before taxes) and we'll take care of the rest. The commissions/rewards will be calculated based on that amount and the plan ID, in case you use the plan-level rewards feature.</Note> Using email or UID parameters, we identify the lead/customer who generated the sale, which also helps us determine the promoter who owns the reward/commission. The lead is added to our system either by the client signup tracking script when the user signs up or by calling the signup API endpoint. There is also the option to bypass the signup tracking by using TID or ref_id parameters, which will create the lead and assign the sale in one go. **If we don't find the lead in our system, it means that the sale is not a referral sale and you'll get a 204 response. You don't have to identify which sale is from referrals and which is not; we'll take care of that.** <Tip>**For zero-decimal** currencies like `JPY`, `amount` and `mrr` parameters should be sent as **whole values**. **For other currencies**, `amount` and `mrr` parameter values should be in cents, i.e., you will need to **multiply the value by 100** before sending the request.</Tip><Tip>**HTTP Request** `POST https://firstpromoter.com/api/v1/track/sale`</Tip>

Tracking sales and commissions

The refund call is similar to the sale call. It works the same way, except that it generates negative commissions.<Tip>**HTTP Request** `POST https://firstpromoter.com/api/v1/track/refund`</Tip>

Tracking refunds and negative commissions

This call will mark the customer as cancelled and will decrease the MRR generated by him/her.<Tip>**HTTP Request** `POST https://firstpromoter.com/api/v1/track/cancellation`</Tip>

Use this endpoint to create new promoters using the API. The response will return the newly added promoter as JSON. Probably the most important value from the response is `auth_token`, which is a unique key auto-generated on creation and can be used to automatically log in your promoters to their dashboard. [Learn more](https://help.firstpromoter.com/faq/how-to-embed-the-promoter-dashboard-inside-your-website-and-log-your-users-in-automatically). <Note> If this call is successful and you enabled `Promoter sign up accepted` emails for the campaign, it will start sending emails to the promoter. To skip the emails, set the `skip_email_notification` parameter to `true`</Note><Tip>**HTTP Request** `POST https://firstpromoter.com/api/v1/promoters/create`</Tip>

This endpoint will change the promoter's campaign to another one, keeping the referral ID the same (the affiliate won’t need to update the referral link). It serves the same function as moving the promoter to another campaign from the UI.More details on how it works can be found [here](https://help.firstpromoter.com/en/articles/2509650-moving-promoters-from-one-campaign-to-another).

Add a promoter to a campaign

Resetting the authentication token (`auth_token`), which is used to automatically sign in your promoters (if you use this feature), is not required but can enhance the security of the promoter dashboard. You can set up a cron job to call the API endpoint and store the new auth_token from the response. You can identify promoters by id, cust_id, or auth_token; only one is required.<Tip> **HTTP Request** `PUT https://firstpromoter.com/api/v1/promoters/refresh_token` </Tip>

With this endpoint, you can assign a commission generated by a referral, and it will be recorded to the promoter who referred the lead/customer. You can find the referral by lead_id, email, or UID. If the reward/commission is not generated by a lead/customer, you can assign it directly to a promoter through its promotion. You can find the promotion by `promotion_id` or `ref_id`. <Note>Note: To assign rewards/commission for sales via the API use the Tracking API</Note><Note>If this call is successful and you enabled 'Promoter gets a new commission/reward' emails for the campaign, it will send emails to the promoter.

This endpoint supports pagination, similar with other endpoints, by passing `page` param. If you want to iterate through all promoters, you **must start with** `page=1` and continue to next pages based on header pagination links from the response. The paginated promoters are always ordered by the total revenue made (not the revenue brought during the selected period). If **page param is ommited**, we'll return **top 50 promoters** by **revenue amount** on the selected period. You can get the **top 50 promoters** sorted by a different metric using the `top_50` parameter.</Note><Tip> **HTTP Request** `GET https://firstpromoter.com/api/v1/reports/promoters`</Tip>
