2.1. API Types and Characteristics
Partner API. The Partner API provides all functionality required for File searching in the File Provider database and displaying File examples and all related information to a user on the Reseller website. To purchase a File, a Buyer will be directed to the File Provider Website. Buyers who register on the File Provider Website after they entered through the Reseller’s link are tagged as referrals of the Reseller, who will earn income in accordance with the terms and conditions of the File Provider’s Affiliate Program.
Reseller API. The Reseller API enables the sale of the File Provider’s Files on the Reseller’s website and offers the greatest price flexibility to the Reseller. Buyers are not redirected to the File Provider’s website for payment. This method is designed for a Reseller to create his/her own stock file website in order to sell Files acquired either wholly from the File Provider, or in conjunction with Files from other databases.
The File Provider delivers Files to the Reseller at standard prices or via a subscription plan. The Reseller sets the price of Files resold to Buyers.
The File Provider reserves the exclusive right to change the price of Files delivered to the Reseller through the API Program, upward as well as downward, at any time and at its sole discretion, with or without prior notification to the Reseller.
To start working with the API Program, a Reseller should:
Once the File Provider issues an API key, the Reseller can begin to integrate the API Program into the Reseller’s website and start marketing Files and/or Licensed Products.
