CJ Web Services Suck

8. October 2007

WTF Commission Junction? Your web services are absolutely horrendous!! You must have a couple of freshman interns running the show over there. I've been attempting to use your web services for months, but time after time they go down, are modified with very poor notification, and simply just plain suck!

Currently I know for sure that their product search service is not working at all. At least not with .NET implementations...and believe me, the client implementation of a web service should not have to care at all about the underlying technology providing the service.  Right now it doesn't matter at all what product search query you submit, their service returns ZERO results. The is a big time fuck up and must be costing them, and their affiliates big bucks. Luckily for me, I do not currently rely heavily on their service. I've been in a testing period with their services for a while, and at no time have I felt at all confident in them to move towards a full scale implementation. 

When I first starting using CJ web services, they provided both a non-secure http service and also a secure service (https). Well, in September, they decided to AX the http service that I was using. Did I get an email? NOPE!! Do they have a reliabe RSS feed for affiliate using their services? NOPE!! Currently, the ONLY way to find out WTF is going on with their web services is to visit their shitty forum daily. CJ web services blows, I highly recommend staying FAR AWAY from them until they can get their act together!!
