Daily Publisher Commission Report Service

The Daily Publisher Commission Report Service is a SOAP-based (Simple Object Access Protocol) API that enables developers to request publisher commission data from Commission Junction. Developers may request data using multiple parameters to return specific results based on those request parameters (e.g., You may request commissions related to a specific advertiser on a specific date). The most current data available through this report is the data from the previous day. It is not possible to get the data for the current day using this API.
