Advertiser Programs - 4.0.0 | FMTC Knowledge Base

API Endpoint

Advertiser Programs

Purpose: Retrieve comprehensive merchant and program data including program management and network name information
Example Request:https://s3.fmtc.co/api/4.0.0/advertisers-programs?api_token=YOUR_API_KEY

What's New

This endpoint is a custom extension of the Merchants 4.0.0 endpoint, built for advertiser subscription use cases. Two fields differ from the standard Merchants response:

program_platform_name replaces the numeric network_id field with the human-readable network name (e.g., "AWIN" instead of 14).
managed_by is a new field that returns the name of the agency or managing network responsible for the program. Returns null if the program is managed in-house or has no agency/network relationship.
