Affiliate Deep Linking
Generate performance deep links that credit you for ticket sales.
In this guide we will run through a basic process for finding a performance at AMC Town Center 20 and generating a performance deep link that will credit us for ticket sales. See Showtimes for more information on finding performances.
Finding a Performance
To get started with purchasing tickets we will need to begin by selecting a theatre and a performance we would like tickets for. We will start by using AMC Town Center 20, and pulling the showtimes for today. We'll construct the URL using Town Center 20's theatre number 38 and today's date. To keep things simple we will set the page size to one and just use first result.
