CJ Affiliate Publisher Tracking API
Server-to-server JSON REST API through which publishers exchange a standard CJ tracking link for a final destination URL, taking the consumer straight to the advertiser where a bounceless journey is appropriate and returning the original tracking link where it is not. Cannot be called from a browser - the browser-based equivalent is CJ's Publisher Tag. On any error the publisher must navigate the consumer to the traditional click URL.
