This is the public endpoint used when affiliates sign up through the registration page. Creates a new affiliate account (pending approval) with the provided information. Which fields are required depends on your network's partner signup configuration in Control Center. Fields such as `firstname`, `lastname`, `company`, and `contact_address` are only enforced when they are marked visible and required there. Custom fields (`custom_field_values`) are optional and defined in Control Center under the signup page configuration. Field IDs can be retrieved via `GET /networks/settings/affiliateportal` (in the `relationship.custom_fields` array). Fields marked as mandatory in the UI are also required in API submissions. ## OpenAPI ````yaml openapi/signup.yaml post /networks/affiliate/signup openapi: 3.0.3 info: title: Everflow Network API - Signup description: > Endpoints for managing affiliate and advertiser signup configuration and submissions.
