CJ Affiliate Commission Detail API (Legacy)

DEPRECATED XML REST API for near-real-time commission and item-detail data. CJ's own documentation states it was to be removed on 1 June 2019 and directs integrators to the GraphQL Commission Detail API, but the host still answers with HTTP 401 as of August 2026. Date ranges are capped at 31 days, start-date inclusive and end-date exclusive, and the commission-id parameter supports the same incremental watermark pattern the GraphQL API exposes as sinceCommissionId. 25 calls per minute.

CJ Affiliate Commission Detail API (Legacy) is one of 9 APIs that CJ Affiliate publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.

Tagged areas include Commissions, Transaction, Deprecated, and REST. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, and an API reference.

This API exposes 2 operations across 2 paths, and defines 2 schemas. It is described by OpenAPI 3.2.0, at version 2026-08-13.

Requests are made against a single base URL, https://commission-detail.api.cj.com.
