Affiliate
You can sign up as an affiliate and
get a commission on poster sales through your own website. Each available poster has
a numeric APNum. Each size of the poster has a numeric
PODConfigID. Unfortunately, the computer interfaces tell
you only about one of the sizes. You have to screenscrape from the web pages intended
for humans to get information about the various sizes. Your affiliate account number
used to track your royalties is called your WebSiteID.
