# Introduction

The **RewardsBot Affiliate Discovery API** lets you search affiliate product inventory, retrieve product details, manage reusable filter criteria, and list affiliate merchants — all from a single REST API.

Use it to build:

* AI-driven shopping assistants and chatbots
* Curated affiliate offer feeds for rewards and loyalty programs
* Merchant directories and storefront search experiences
* Cashback and price-comparison surfaces

## Core concepts

* **Products** — affiliate product listings with pricing, merchant, brand, and availability data.
* **Criteria sets** — saved bundles of structured filters (e.g. `on_sale = true`, `brand = Nike`) you can apply by ID.
* **Cursor pagination** — search and listing endpoints return a `next_cursor` you pass back to fetch additional pages.
* **Merchants** — the affiliate retailers powering the product catalog.
