LinkMyDeals Coupon API allows you to keep your Website or Mobile App updated all the time with the latest Coupons and Deals from 2000+ Online Stores around the world.
If you are using any of the popular WordPress themes, then you can use our WordPress Solutions to put your website on Auto-Pilot.
But if you have a development team or you are yourself a developer, you can use our API to automate the updation of Coupons & Deals in your system. Simply call our API and sync your database, and avoid manual CSV uploads and downloads.
What's more? Our REST API responds with a JSON format, and can as well return a CSV file. So basically you don't need to leave your comfort-zone to integrate with our API. We'll do all the customzations to the response, so there is minimum work at your end. All the parameters use GET method, which makes it even more easier for you to use the API as a simple URL.
