API Branding Requirements
We want you to use our content in useful and interesting ways, not boring or underhanded ways. To that end, we have some rules in addition to those explained in the API Terms of Use:
Give Us Credit
Wherever you display our content, you must prominently display our logo (see below). It should be obvious that the information originates from Groupon. Also, don’t claim responsibility or sponsorship for Groupon content (e.g., Groupon’s deal of the day is brought to you by Larry’s Crab Shack).
Live in the Moment
The API is for real time user-driven requests. Don’t capture information from the API for later use.
Keep it Consumer Facing
Don’t use Groupon information for non-consumer purposes.
Add Value
If you’re only going to recreate the functionality of Groupon’s own website or mobile apps, save yourself the trouble and just put up a link.
Enable Links
Don’t ‘nofollow’ your links to Groupon.
Give Us the Spotlight
Don’t aggregate our deals with other providers.
Leave Our Content Alone
Don’t alter our logo, graphics, or copy provided by Groupon.
For Mobile
Have clear Groupon branding at the top of app/mobile pages where you’re using and/or incorporating Groupon content. On platforms where Groupon also has a mobile application, we may require you to link directly to our application instead of our mobile site.
