affiliate-check

What this skill does

The affiliate-check skill enables real-time querying of affiliate program data from list.affitor.com through a persistent local daemon with an in-memory cache for rapid responses. It provides detailed insights on programs including search by keywords, filters for recurring commissions or tags, sorting by trending or new, and side-by-side comparisons of multiple programs. The daemon auto-starts on first use, caches results for five minutes, and can be managed with status and shutdown commands.

Who it's for

This skill is ideal for growth marketers vetting affiliate partnerships and evaluating commission structures to optimize revenue share. SEO specialists working with affiliate content can quickly identify programs with favorable cookie durations or trending status. Agencies managing multiple clients’ affiliate strategies benefit from side-by-side program comparisons to recommend the best fit for different verticals or campaign goals.

Key workflows

Practitioners typically begin by searching affiliate programs using targeted keywords or filtering by recurring commissions and relevant tags to shortlist options. Next, they review detailed program info cards to assess cookie duration, commission rates, and payout structures. For final selection, the skill’s comparison feature allows direct evaluation of multiple programs side-by-side across key metrics. Throughout, users monitor daemon status to ensure the service is running smoothly and manage uptime.

Common questions

Can I use this skill without an API key? Yes, but the free tier limits search results to five per query. How often does the data cache update? Cached results expire every five minutes to balance speed and freshness. What happens if the daemon crashes? It automatically restarts on the next command to maintain availability.
