I need something that will translate either API feeds or .CSV files from affiliate networks such as Commission Junction into a postback/closed loop function. I run an incentive based marketing website and unfortunately the only way my platform can automatically credit offer completions is through this postback/closed loop function. Several of my affiliate networks do not have this however, and only offer .CSV tracking, or API/Webservices (ex. Directtrack Networks, HydraMedia, SearchCactus, IncentAClick, CJ). I need a program or script that will pull these services or CSVs automatically at certain time intervals, and post back in the proper format to the URL I give it. This way offer completion credits will be automatically (and often, instantly) allocated, rather than requiring myself to do it manually. I'm sorry if this explanation doesn't sound great, I'm unsure of how to describe it any better. I'd be willing to offer the winning coder screenshots and information about the postback function as well as the .CSV/API Webservices function. Personally, I would prefer a .CSV puller/post back to a Webservices/XML/API puller because more affiliate networks offer .CSV. I'd hope for the winner to have prior experiences with incentivized freebie sites so this would be more understandable.
