What is the SimpleSwap API for fiat exchanges?

API (Application Programming Interface) is one of the tools of the SimpleSwap Affiliate Program. Our Affiliate Partners can use API alongside a referral link, widget, banner, and button. In return, our Affiliate Partners receive rewards in BTC. API is integrated into one’s website or service and allows visitors to create exchanges with SimpleSwap without having to switch between numerous tabs. 

SimpleSwap Affiliate Partners can choose between three types of API keys:

• for all kinds of exchanges;
• only for fiat-to-crypto and crypto-to-fiat exchanges;
• only for crypto-to-crypto exchanges.

• Please note that we may require users planning to conduct a fiat exchange to complete a Know Your Customer (KYC) process to comply with our fiat partners’ policies and regulations.
