    Hello everybody and thanks for taking a look at my post.

    I am in the process of building a site that is basically a shop directory and will show vouchers and discount codes for that shop.

    Each store will basically have it's own page which will have the affiliate link direct to the store and a brief description of what the store does.

    What i need is a affiliate network that will give me a datafeed of all merchants that i have signed up to and provide me with a datafeed so i can upload direct through my admin into mysql.... XML or CSV supported.

    Do any Affiliate Networks do this otherwise i will have to add them myself one by one.

    Thank You..

    Most of the networks have csv or xml files for the codes of their merchants in varying layouts. Buy.at, Affiliate Window, Webgains, Paid On Results, Affilinet (rss I think) all have them.

    There are also a few pretty good services out there for this iCodes - Voucher Code and Offers Database accessed via webservices or ready made customizable websites. from Leeky and http://www.promotions.co.uk/ from Doug (both forum members).

    Personally I prefer manual route

    The information i would need on the stores is as follows.

    Merchant Name
    Merchant Image
    Merchant Description
    Merchants Vouchers
    My Merchant Affiliate Link as i use this in several places on the information page.

    Bonus information would be banner links also as i have 3 locations where banners go.

    125x125
    468x60
    728x90

    I can add these myself though as i know that each merchant has several designs in each size.

    Of course this feed also needs to be of merchants i have joined only as well.

    hahah not asking for much am i......lol

    To be honest, I think the best way to do this would be to compile the merchant name and affiliate links manually, write custom descriptions for each one, then import vouchers from one of the companies mentioned above.

    You won't be able to get the whole lot provided in a single feed; at least not easily.

    We provide the whole lot in a single feed including the built affiliate link containing the users affiliate id, click ref and deeplinks, merchant logos, voucher details, merchant ids, merchant names, categories, network, start / end dates etc..

    The feed can be all vouchers (across 14 networks) or by network, by merchant, by category, by a-z, by keyword etc.. (the feed also can contain only the merchants you are joined to or all merchants with or without voucher codes)

    An example awin feed...

    Code:
    http://webservices.icodes.co.uk/feed.xml?username=wp-plugin&SubscriptionID=7d04bbbe5494ae9d2f5a76aa1c00fa2f&RequestType=AllVoucherCodes&network=affiliate_window
    The 'allvouchercodes' request on its own is limited to 3 calls per day, and the rest combined is limited to 5000 calls per day. it costs £49 per year and you get 100% of the commission as all the tracking uses your ids and goes direct to the networks in the usual way as if you had inputted them manually.

    iCodes - Free Voucher and Offer API Available.
