Authentication - Archer Affiliates API

Every API request, except the token request itself, needs an Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN

Get a token

Send your Archer username and password as application/x-www-form-urlencoded:

curl -X POST https://api.archeraffiliates.com/token \
  -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
  -d "username=YOUR_USERNAME&password=YOUR_PASSWORD"

The response includes access_token. Tokens are valid for 1440 minutes (24 hours) from issue — fetch a new one after that.

Call the API

Pass the token as a bearer token:

curl https://api.archeraffiliates.com/getproducts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"

If a call returns 401, fetch a fresh token and retry.

Affiliate vs. seller access

The same token flow is used for both API surfaces. Your account determines which endpoints you can call:

An affiliate account can call the Affiliate API endpoints.
A seller account can call the Seller API endpoints under /sellers/....
