API Reference

Complete documentation for the Referrals.com REST API v1.

Base URL & Authentication

All API endpoints are available under two base URLs:

https://referrals.com/api/v1
https://api.referrals.com/v1

Both are identical — use whichever you prefer. Authenticate by including your API key in the X-API-Key header, or pass a JWT Bearer token from POST /v1/auth/token.

curl https://api.referrals.com/v1/members/profile \
  -H "X-API-Key: ref_your_api_key_here"

Widget Embed

Add a referral widget to any website with a single script tag. Replace 123 with your campaign ID.

<div id="referrals-widget"></div>
<script src="https://referrals.com/widget.js?campaign=123" async></script>

Or embed directly via iframe:

<iframe src="https://referrals.com/widget/123/embed"
  width="100%" height="560" style="border:0"
  allow="clipboard-write"></iframe>

The widget supports three modes — embed (inline), popup (button + modal), and floating(corner bubble) — configured in your campaign's widget settings.
