Changelog

[v14] Change to Programs Endpoint

The Programs API endpoint now has a type string field to differentiate between campaign formats.

[v13] New feature: Application Processing API

The contracts endpoint now has two new methods:

  • POST support for new partner applications. You can now accept pending application proposals and optionally assign a groupId to each newly accepted partner.

  • DELETE support for new partner applications. You can now decline pending application proposals and optionally pass reason and groupId parameters.

[v13] Rate Limit Changes for ReportExport and ClickExport

The new rate limits on API requests are:

  • ReportExport: 100 requests per day.

  • ClickExport: 10 requests per day.

However, these new limits won't be enforced for many brands until the new year.

[v13] New endpoint: PromoCodeExceptionLists

The PromoCodeExceptionLists endpoints let you create, update, retrieve, and delete promo code exception lists.

[v13] Scoped Tokens

impact.com lets you create scoped tokens: API credentials with detailed, fine-tuned permissions that limit or allow access to specific API endpoints. This improves security, enhances access control, and simplifies token management.

To get started, explore:

[v13] Migrate to ReportExport

If you export large volumes of report data via the impact.com API, now is the time to switch to the more efficient ReportExport endpoint—especially with upcoming limits to the legacy Reports API on September 1, 2025.

[v13] New endpoint: Upload

The new Upload endpoint allows you to upload a catalog via API. You can now upload an entire catalog instead of updating records one by one.

[v13] Changes to Contract Endpoint

The Contracts API endpoint now includes Scheduled Terms. When relevant, API responses will contain an additional JSON object: ScheduledTerms.

[v12] Improvements to the /Ads endpoint

We've enhanced the /Ads endpoint to give you more control over how you can retrieve your ad details from impact.com:

  • The as endpoint now returns an ad's DateCreated and DateLastUpdated.

  • When retrieving ads, you can now specify the creation/update date or date range for which you want results to be returned.

We've also made some changes to managing your banner ad's creative assets. You can add or update a banner ad's creative file using the BannerCreativeFile parameter when you create or update an ad.

[v12] Change to Contracts Endpoint

On 05 March 2025, the ZeroPayoutHideReport field was added to the following brand endpoint:

  • /Contracts/<Id>

[v12] Change to Catalogs Endpoints

On 12 September 2024, the Currency and ServiceAreas fields were added to the following brand endpoints:

  • /Catalogs

  • /Catalogs/<CatalogId>

[v12] New endpoint: LegalEntities

The new LegalEntities endpoint allows you to retrieve legal entity information, including billing address and indirect tax details, for legal entities associated with your account.

[v12] Changes to the Create a Partner endpoint

On 23 August 2024 these changes were implemented to the Create a Partner endpoint:

  • Updated the order of the parameters to match the actual code.

  • Added PhoneNumber as a parameter

  • Deprecated PromotionalMethods

  • Updated descriptions for TaxId and OrganizationType

[v12] Changes to actions and action updates

On 5 August 2024 these changes were implemented to ensure data integrity and optimize API performance:

  • Queries for Actions or ActionUpdates cannot have a StartDate exceeding 3 years in the past.

  • A query’s StartDate and EndDate cannot be more than 45 days apart.

  • If no StartDate and EndDate parameters are specified, only records for the past 7 days will be returned.

  • If StartDate is specified, EndDate must be specified as well, or the query will return an error.

  • The new default page size is 20,000 records per page when PageSize isn’t specified.

  • If specified, the smallest PageSize value is 2,000 records.

  • If the total record count exceeds 10 times the page size, an error message will prompt you to either adjust either the PageSize or the StartDate or EndDate, to ensure the response won’t contain more than 10 pages.

[v11] Ensure your data is always fresh!

Previously, you may have run the risk of receiving incorrect or outdated information if your client cached data in your API requests, especially for dynamic, user-specific, or time-sensitive data. You will now receive the following header values to indicate to your client that the response data from your queries should not be cached, and ensure that you always fetch the latest data:

Ensure that your data is always fresh by checking that your API client expects these new header values.

[v11] Deferred Response Endpoint

The Deferred Response endpoint can be used to create or replay /report or /clicks jobs.

[v11] Changes to the Reports endpoint pagination

After 2 October 2023, any requests made to the Reports API endpoint that specify a page size other than 20,000 will return a page size of exactly 20,000 records. If any of your integrations with the /Reports API specifies a page size less than 20,000, we recommend either of the following updates:

  • Specify a PageSize of 20,000.

  • Remove the PageSize parameter from the request altogether.

[v11] New endpoint: Export a Report

There is a new endpoint in the reports section of our API reference documentation.

The ReportExport endpoint schedules a job to export reports asynchronously.
