Is there any API to add ads to my desktop app

Question

I am looking for a way to embed ads to my desktop APIs. There are planty solutions out there for web sites which stream ads from Ad Networks. However, I didn't find one which will allow to get a similar ad content to the app. Does any one have any experience with this?

Thanks!!

Answer 1

Which operating system are you targeting? If you are on Windows you could always display the ads within an embedded/automated IE window (assuming IE is installed). Alternatively, you could hook up to something like shareasale.com datafeeds and embed the appropriate links in your app. Clicking on the link (or description, image, etc) would merely cause a browser to launch at the appropriate site.
