What does quality control?
Variable for playing around with keyword quality, link accuracy, and response times.
| Value | Notes | Expected Latency | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
fast | Quickest, but less likely to find a working affiliate link | ~150ms | When response times matter and you’d prefer to fail fast |
standard | Strong keyword quality and decent link matching | ~1.4s | Balanced default |
best | Strong keyword and strong matching | ~2.5s | If you’re okay with a longer response time and want the keyword/link combo that will drive most conversions |
The API is slow. How can I speed it up?
The API is slow. How can I speed it up?
Try these optimizations:
- Use
quality: "fast"- Most response times are in the 100-200ms range, but often does not find matching affiliate links in time. Good if you’d prefer to fail fast. - Limit message length - Really long messages can cause slight delays in analysis
- Cache responses - You could build your own database for cached results by keywords.
What fill rate should I expect?
What fill rate should I expect?
Fill rate varies based on your traffic quality:
- Product-focused chatbots (shopping assistants, product Q&A): 60-80%
- General-purpose chatbots (customer support, general AI): 20-40%
- Mixed traffic: 30-50%
Are results deterministic? Does caching work?
Are results deterministic? Does caching work?
Yes, results are deterministic for identical inputs. The same message with the same parameters will return the same affiliate link, making caching effective.However, results may change over time due to:
- Product availability changes
- Price fluctuations
- New affiliate partnerships
How fresh are the affiliate links and prices?
How fresh are the affiliate links and prices?
Affiliate links are resolved in real-time from our affiliate partners. Product availability and pricing reflect current data at the time of the request.Links remain valid for the product’s lifetime, but prices shown in marketing messages may become stale. For price-sensitive applications, consider shorter cache durations or re-fetching periodically.
