  // deviceId is used for referencing the device in reporting data
  const deviceId = WLClient.getDeviceId();

Get Supported Merchant Domains

The getDomains function fetches all domains that we support and are wildlink-able. These are in the context of the authenticated device that made the call.

WLClient.getDomains().then((domains) => {
  console.log(domains);
});

Example return

[
  {
    ID: "8NkEhsh5FA",
    Kind: "domain",
    Value: "theblackbow.com",
    URL: "http://wild.link/8NkEhsh5FA"
  },
  {
    ID: "8NkE1tKFAQ8",
    Kind: "domain",
    Value: "acetag.com",
    URL: "http://wild.link/8NkE1tKFAQ8"
  },
  {
    ID: "8NkE5byZAQM",
    Kind: "domain",
    Value: "www.adagio.com",
    URL: "http://wild.link/8NkE5byZAQM"
  },
  {
    ID: "8NkE3tKFAQ4",
    Kind: "domain",
    Value: "awesomeseating.com",
    URL: "http://wild.link/8NkE3tKFAQ4"
  },
  {
    ID: "8NkE8NCFAQo",
    Kind: "domain",
    Value: "theblackbox.com",
    URL: "http://wild.link/8NkE8NCFAQo"
  },
  ...
]

Generate Vanity URL

The generateVanity function converts a URL (to a product page, listing page, etc.) to a wild.link URL with embedded tracking for the authenticated device.

WLClient.generateVanity('https://www.walmart.com').then((vanity) => {
  console.log(vanity);
});

Example Return

{
  OriginalURL: "https://www.walmart.com",
  VanityURL: "http://wild.link/walmart/AK2vBQ"
}
