# API Events

Submit custom events to track referee actions and reward affiliates.

You can send custom events to ShareMint using our API.

These events are associated with referees and are used to reward affiliates.

For example, if you have a web3 game, and your game has a breeding event, you can reward an affiliate that invites a user to the game that breeds at least 5 times. To determine whether the conditions have been completed, you would send a breed event to our API each time the user breeds. One we recieve 5 breed events, the affiliate reward will be unlocked.

To add an API Event requirement, navigate to your project's settings page. In the *Affiliates* section, click on *Advanced Referee Requirements*, and choose *API Event* as the requirement type.

You will be asked to fill in the following fields:

* **Event Name** - the name of the event. This must match the event name sent via API.
* **What is the minimum value required to be considered a referral?** - This is a numeric value threshold above which an affiliate is considered to be valid. You can leave this blank or set it to 0 if you'd like to allow any value.
