To add an affiliate through the NATS4 API, you must make a SOAP call with the following parameters:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <SOAP-ENV:Envelope SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:tns="urn:natsapiadmin_wsdl"> <SOAP-ENV:Body> <tns:add_affs xmlns:tns="urn:natsapiadmin_wsdl"> <username xsi:type="xsd:string">NewAffiliate</username> <password xsi:type="xsd:string">AffPass</password> <firstname xsi:type="xsd:string">MyFirst</firstname> <lastname xsi:type="xsd:string">MyLast</lastname> <email xsi:type="xsd:string">foo@bar.com</email> <company xsi:nil="true" xsi:type="xsd:string"/> <url xsi:type="xsd:string">http://www.foo.com</url> <tel xsi:nil="true" xsi:type="xsd:string"/> <icq xsi:nil="true" xsi:type="xsd:string"/> <aim xsi:nil="true" xsi:type="xsd:string"/> <msn xsi:nil="true" xsi:type="xsd:string"/> <address1 xsi:type="xsd:string">505 Street Rd.</address1> <address2 xsi:nil="true" xsi:type="xsd:string"/> <city xsi:type="xsd:string">Freehold</city> <state xsi:type="xsd:string">NJ</state> <country xsi:type="xsd:string">US</country> <zip_code xsi:type="xsd:string">12345</zip_code> <tax_id_or_ssn xsi:nil="true" xsi:type="xsd:string"/> <ref xsi:type="xsd:string">5</ref> <minimum_payout xsi:type="xsd:string">100</minimum_payout> </tns:add_affs> </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
NOTE: The ref field is for passing in an affiliate referral. The value is the loginid of the referring affiliate.
Once you have made the call, you will get a response similar to:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:tns="urn:natsapiadmin_wsdl"> <SOAP-ENV:Body> <ns1:add_affsResponse xmlns:ns1="urn:natsapiadmin_wsdl"> <return xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array" SOAP-ENC:arrayType="tns:Add_aff[1]"> <item xsi:type="tns:Add_aff"> <result xsi:type="xsd:string">1</result> <loginid xsi:type="xsd:int">6</loginid> </item> </return> </ns1:add_affsResponse> </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
The response will contain two parameters: result and loginid. If the affiliate was added successfully, then the result will be 1. Otherwise, the response will display an error message with the issue.
If the member addition was successful, then the displayed loginid will be the affiliate's loginid; otherwise the loginid will be set to 0.
