For Agents

Manage affiliate and referral programs — register partners, attribute orders, run payout batches, and adjust partner balances — through a single REST interface.

Connect the GrowthHero API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the GrowthHero API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Install Jentic One Beta (Self-Hosted)

Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

View OpenAPI Document

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI document for GrowthHero API, keeping it validated and agent-ready.

The GrowthHero API is a RESTful interface for managing affiliate and refer-a-friend programs. Agents can register and update partners, record orders that drive commissions, manage partner groups and tiered commission rules, run payout batches, and track subscription-driven recurring commissions. Each resource exposes list, retrieve, create, update, and balance-adjustment operations so an integrated app can run an end-to-end referral workflow without bespoke logic.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use GrowthHero API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Affiliate Onboarding Automation

Provision new affiliate accounts as they sign up on a partner portal or external form. The POST /partners endpoint creates the partner record with email, payout method, and metadata, returning the partner ID that can be embedded in unique referral links. Combined with PUT /partners/{id} for profile edits, an agent can run a fully automated onboarding flow without manual data entry.

Call POST /partners with the new partner's email, name, and payout email, then return the created partner ID and referral URL.

Commission Reconciliation

Reconcile partner balances against external order data by listing partner transactions and applying balance adjustments where refunds, chargebacks, or manual corrections are needed. The /partners/{id}/transactions endpoint exposes the running ledger and /partners/{id}/adjust_balance applies a delta. Reconciliation cycles that previously took hours of spreadsheet work can run continuously on order webhook events.

For partner ID 12345, list transactions in the last 30 days and POST /partners/12345/adjust_balance with -19.99 to claw back a refunded commission.

Scheduled Payout Batches

Run monthly or weekly payout batches that group eligible partners and trigger their generated payouts. The POST /partners/{id}/generate_payout endpoint creates a payout entry per partner; coordinator scripts can iterate over the partner list and generate payouts in bulk while respecting minimum thresholds set in the program. This replaces manual CSV exports to payment providers.

List all partners, filter to those with a positive balance over $50, and call POST /partners/{id}/generate_payout for each one.

AI Agent Referral Operations

An AI agent running marketing operations can use GrowthHero through Jentic to attribute orders, audit balances, and generate payouts on demand. Jentic exposes the partner, order, and payout endpoints as discoverable tools so the agent picks the right operation by intent rather than reading the Apiary docs. The api key never leaves the Jentic vault.

Search for 'register an affiliate partner', load the POST /partners schema, and execute it for the partner detail provided in the agent input.

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

The GrowthHero API key is stored encrypted in the Jentic vault. Agents receive a scoped execution token; the raw header value is injected at request time and never enters agent context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent such as 'create an affiliate partner' or 'generate a payout' and Jentic returns the matching GrowthHero operations with input schemas, so the agent invokes the correct endpoint without reading the Apiary documentation.

Time to first call

Direct GrowthHero integration: a day or two for auth wiring, partner CRUD coverage, and payout reconciliation. Through Jentic: under 30 minutes — search, load schema, execute.

Related APIs

Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.

Alternative

Rewardful API

Rewardful is a Stripe-native affiliate platform; GrowthHero is a more general affiliate and refer-a-friend platform

Choose Rewardful when the underlying billing system is Stripe and commission attribution should follow Stripe customer IDs. Choose GrowthHero when you need a wider range of order sources and group-based commission rules.

Alternative

Partnerize API

Partnerize targets enterprise partner marketing across networks; GrowthHero targets SMB direct-to-merchant referral programs

Use Partnerize when partners are recruited through a network and reporting must roll up across brands. Use GrowthHero for a single merchant running its own program.

Alternative

NetRefer Operator API

NetRefer is an enterprise affiliate platform widely used in regulated verticals; GrowthHero is lighter-weight for direct merchants

Use NetRefer when you operate in regulated industries needing tier-heavy compliance and reporting. Use GrowthHero for a faster setup with similar core flows.

FAQs

Specific to using GrowthHero API API through Jentic.

What authentication does the GrowthHero API use?

GrowthHero uses an API key passed in a request header (apiKeyAuth scheme). When integrated through Jentic, the key is held encrypted in the Jentic vault and attached to the request at execution time, so agent code does not handle the raw key.

Can I generate affiliate payouts in bulk with the GrowthHero API?

Yes. The API does not expose a single bulk-payout endpoint, but you can list partners with GET /partners, filter by balance, and call POST /partners/{id}/generate_payout for each eligible partner. Wrap the loop in your own scheduling job to run weekly or monthly cycles.

What are the rate limits for the GrowthHero API?

GrowthHero does not publish a hard rate limit in its OpenAPI spec; the documentation recommends keeping concurrent requests modest and contacting support if you need to drive sustained high volume. Treat the API as suitable for transactional workflows rather than bulk batch imports.

How do I attribute an order to an affiliate through Jentic?

Run pip install jentic, then search for 'create an affiliate order'. Jentic returns the POST /orders operation with its schema. Pass the partner ID and order details (amount, currency, external order ID), then execute. The commission calculation runs server-side based on the partner's group rules.

Does the GrowthHero API support recurring subscription commissions?

Yes. The Subscriptions resource in the API tracks subscription-linked commissions so that recurring orders continue paying the originating affiliate. Use the subscriptions endpoints to list and manage these recurring entries alongside the standard /orders flow.

Can I delete a partner if they leave the program?

Yes — DELETE /partners/{id} removes the partner record. Note that deleting a partner does not retroactively reverse commissions on past orders; if you need to claw back a balance, use POST /partners/{id}/adjust_balance with a negative delta before deleting.
