Skimlinks
Publisher ID, client ID and client secret, from the Publisher Hub.
About 3 minutes.
Skimlinks' Reporting API is read-only: it can see your commissions, not change your account. Sales sync every few hours like the other networks.
Find them
- Sign in to the Skimlinks Publisher Hub.
- Open Toolbox → APIs → API Authentication Credentials.
- Copy the Publisher ID, the Client ID and the Client secret, and send them with the secure link we give you.
Don't send keys by email or chat. Keep them ready for your setup session, where they go straight into your dashboard's encrypted settings.
Which site earned it
Skimlinks reports the page each sale came from, so sales are credited to the site by its address with nothing to set up. If you add a custom ID (xcust) to your links, name it after the site and it's used first. Anything left over is listed on the Revenue uploads page, to match by hand once.
If you see…
| Message | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Skimlinks sign-in 401 or 403 | The client ID or secret is wrong, or was regenerated. | Copy both again from API Authentication Credentials. |
| Skimlinks 404 | The Publisher ID doesn't match the credentials. | Copy the Publisher ID from the same page as the client ID. |
From the service's own documentation: Affilimate: Reporting with Skimlinks (where the credentials are). Menus move; if a step doesn't match your screen, tell us.
