Connect WordPress to affiliate product data
Datafeedr API is the connection layer between a WordPress website and the Datafeedr API. An active Datafeedr API Product subscription is required to use the plugin. The API provides access to an affiliate product database containing aggregated, indexed, and normalized product data from more than 27,000 merchants and 35+ affiliate networks.
By organizing product information for searching and discovery, the service helps website owners find products they want to promote. The plugin provides the WordPress interface for configuring the connection and managing the affiliate sources available to the site.
Manage networks, merchants, and identifiers
From the plugin settings, you can configure your API connection settings and select the affiliate networks you belong to. You can also choose merchants who have approved you and add the affiliate IDs associated with your affiliate networks.
Selections of affiliate networks and merchants can be imported or exported. This is useful when you need to manage source selections as part of your site workflow or move those selections between environments. The plugin also provides access to your API account usage, giving you a place to view how the account is being used.
Work with related Datafeedr plugins
Datafeedr API currently integrates with:

Practical use cases
Use the plugin when a WordPress site needs a configured connection to Datafeedr affiliate product data. A site owner can select participating networks and approved merchants, add the relevant affiliate IDs, and then use compatible Datafeedr plugins or custom development for product searches and display.
