AIML API Affiliate Program
Not as a classic affiliate program. AIML API's affiliate page still advertises "up to 30%" on referred payments, but its Apply Now button leads to a Rewardful portal that now says "this affiliate program is no longer active", so bloggers and creators cannot join today. What AIML API runs instead is a Partner Program for developers who build AI agents: you route your users' inference through AIML API, they top up credits through a co-branded checkout, and you earn on their usage, paid through Tolt. AIML API does not publish the partner rate and onboards partners directly.

An affiliate page whose signup no longer works
AIML API's affiliate page at aimlapi.com/affiliate is still live. It promises "up to 30% with lifetime options of All referred payments", and its Apply Now buttons point to aimlapi.getrewardful.com/signup. When we opened that link on 9 November 2026, Rewardful redirected to a page reading "Sorry, this affiliate program is no longer active".
The "up to" and "lifetime options" wording was never a firm rate either: it described a ceiling, not a published commission. Our earlier listing recorded 30% recurring on the strength of that page. We have corrected it, because a program you cannot sign up for is not one we should list as open. The page's own body copy also describes AI music generation rather than API referrals, which suggests it has not been maintained.
What the Partner Program is built for
The program AIML API now promotes is aimed at software, not audiences. It describes itself as a way to "add an inference layer to your agent in minutes". You point your agent or app at AIML API's OpenAI and Anthropic compatible endpoint and tag your requests, so the traffic is attributed to you. Your users pay through a co-branded, Stripe-powered top-up link, AIML API creates their account and API key automatically, and you "earn from every request".
That suits developers of CLI agents, desktop agents and AI apps who would otherwise make each user bring their own API key. It does not suit a blogger or YouTuber with a review audience, since there is no referral link to share.
What a usage-based payout is worth
AIML API sells usage, not subscriptions: each model is priced per million tokens or per request, and customers top up a balance in amounts such as $20, $50, $100 or $250. A partner's earnings therefore track how much their users actually spend on inference, which can grow far beyond a subscription commission if the agent is heavily used, or stay tiny if it is not.
The page does not publish the share partners receive. It says payouts are handled automatically worldwide through Tolt and that details are shared during onboarding. Get the rate, any minimum and the payout schedule in writing before you integrate.
Affiliate programs to use instead
If you write for developers and want a link-based program, the AI tools with live programs in our directory are a better route. Pickaxe, a no-code builder for AI tools, pays 40% for a year on a 7 day cookie. 10Web pays 30% of each new referral's revenue for the first 12 months on its AI website builder, tracked through Impact.com. Model providers themselves rarely pay: DeepSeek runs no affiliate or referral program at all.
How to join the AIML API program
- Skip the Apply Now button on aimlapi.com/affiliate. The Rewardful portal it opens is inactive.
- If you build an AI agent or app, open aimlapi.com/partner-program.
- Email partners@aimlapi.com or book a call, and describe your agent and its user base.
- Ask for the revenue share, minimum payout and Tolt payout schedule in writing during onboarding.
- Integrate by switching your base URL to AIML API and tagging requests so usage is attributed to you.
