Merchant Images
Occasionally, you'll want to display images when displaying merchant programs to your users (for example, if you have a merchant directory where users can browse all the available programs). While Wildfire Systems doesn't provide images for every program (as we have thousands of merchants) we do have images available for most of the large merchants in our system. Currently, we have up to three image types available for merchants:
- Featured Images
- Logo Images
- Rectangular Logo Images
A logo image is a square image that shows the logo of the merchant. A rectangular logo image is a rectangular image that shows the logo of the merchant. A featured image is a larger, rectangular image that you can use as a background or tile for a merchant list or for a merchant detail view. You can see examples of these images on our demonstration site:
You can fetch a list of all available merchant images using the following URL:
https://www.wildlink.me/data/APPLICATION_ID/merchant/VERSION
In the above example, replace APPLICATION_ID is your application ID and VERSION with the version of the API you wish to invoke (at the time of this writing, the only available version is 1).
The following is a sample of this data source (Note: we removed most of the merchant category data for this JSON sample to make it easier to see the image data):
