Example of our API
Affiliate JavaScript Widget
Designed for partners looking to get up and running as fast as possible, our affiliate widget lets you quickly integrate iStock photos, illustrations, and vectors to your site. Simply request an API key, place the JavaScript on your site, and add your Affiliate ID—affiliate tracking will be taken care of for you. The widget is a quicker integration versus the affiliate search endpoint, making for a simpler way to earn maximum commission. Below is a short video to showcase the integration.
Affiliate search endpoint
Display our content in a way that suits your aesthetics by using our affiliate search endpoint, which allows you to customize the layout of search results, images sizes, text used, and more. We provide separate endpoints for images and videos, and both are optimized for speed and ease of use. Unlike the widget, you’ll need to add your affiliate ID to the destination URL per the instructions from Impact Radius, our affiliate management partner.
