Earn rewards by introducing new customers to API Bricks, CoinAPI, and FinFeedAPI.
Share the market data tools you trust and earn a percentage of subscription revenue from customers you refer.
The API Bricks Referral Program rewards individuals, developers, and organizations that introduce new customers to our products. You can refer customers through a simple referral link or by including your referral code in API requests.
Standard reward: 10% of collected subscription revenue. Custom terms are available.
There are two ways to refer customers. Both let you earn from customers using eligible products across API Bricks, CoinAPI, and FinFeedAPI.
Generate a unique referral link from the Referrals section of your API Bricks console. You can share links to API Bricks, CoinAPI, or FinFeedAPI, including specific product pages.
When someone visits your link and later creates an organization, the referral can be attributed to you.
Developers and integration partners can include a referral code in API requests using the X-Referrer header.
When your referral code appears on more than 51% of an organization's successful API requests in a calendar month, that organization qualifies for usage-based referral attribution for that month.
Our standard referral program offers 10% of collected subscription revenue from qualifying referred customers.

Link-based referrals can generate commission for up to 10 months starting with the customer's first paid subscription. Usage-based referrals qualify on a monthly basis, provided the required API request threshold is met. Commissions are calculated from collected subscription revenue, not simply from visits, account registrations, or API request volume. Referrals to your own organization are not eligible.
