Mints a new share link for the caller's own affiliate and answers it
with its full URL, 201.

APPROVAL IS REQUIRED: an org that has applied but is not approved is refused,
because a link that cannot accrue is a link that quietly loses the referral. A
requested vanity code must be valid and free across the WHOLE directory —
codes are one global namespace, so a taken code is a 409 rather than a silent
alias. Omit the code and a random one is minted.

Bounded per affiliate. The label is cosmetic: it is trimmed, stripped of
control characters and capped, and it is never part of a code.

## Request

2 fields, body `application/json` (required).

| Field   | In   | Type   | Required | Description                                                                                                      |
| ------- | ---- | ------ | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `code`  | body | string | —        | Code is an optional vanity code; it must be free across the whole directory, and omitting it mints a random one. |
| `label` | body | string | —        | Label is cosmetic — trimmed, stripped of control characters, capped — and never part of a code.                  |

## Response

| Status    | Body               | Meaning |
| --------- | ------------------ | ------- |
| `201`     | affiliate.linkMint | created |
| `default` | problem-details    | refused |

`201` body — 8 fields.

| Field              | In   | Type               | Always | Description                                                                                                                                        |
| ------------------ | ---- | ------------------ | ------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `link`             | body | affiliate.codeView | —      |                                                                                                                                                    |
| `link.clicks`      | body | integer (int64)    | —      | Clicks is how many pings this code has taken.                                                                                                      |
| `link.code`        | body | string             | —      | Code is the link's slug — 3–32 chars of a–z, 0–9 and hyphen — unique across the WHOLE directory, so any affiliate's code resolves an attribution.  |
| `link.conversions` | body | integer (int64)    | —      | Conversions is how many of those signups have actually produced positive commission for the caller.                                                |
| `link.createdAt`   | body | integer (int64)    | —      | CreatedAt is when the link was minted, Unix seconds UTC.                                                                                           |
| `link.label`       | body | string             | —      | Label is the caller's own note for the link ("twitter", "newsletter").                                                                             |
| `link.signups`     | body | integer (int64)    | —      | Signups is how many orgs were attributed with this code — DERIVED by counting attribution edges, never stored, so it cannot drift from the ledger. |
| `link.url`         | body | string             | —      | URL is the full shareable link, the brand host plus ?aff=\<code>.                                                                                  |

Failure carries the platform error shape — see [Errors](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/errors).

## Examples

**CLI**

```bash
hanzo affiliate me links create
```

**SDK**

**.ts**

```ts
import { Configuration, AffiliateApi } from 'hanzoai';

const api = new AffiliateApi(new Configuration({ accessToken: process.env.HANZO_API_KEY }));
const { data } = await api.postAffiliateMeLinks({ code: "<code>", label: "<label>" });
```

**.py**

```python
from hanzoai.cloud import ApiClient, Configuration
from hanzoai.cloud.api import AffiliateApi

client = ApiClient(Configuration(access_token=os.environ["HANZO_API_KEY"]))
result = AffiliateApi(client).post_affiliate_me_links(code="<code>", label="<label>")
```

**.go**

```go
cfg := hanzoai.NewConfiguration()
cfg.AddDefaultHeader("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"))
client := hanzoai.NewAPIClient(cfg)

resp, _, err := client.AffiliateAPI.PostAffiliateMeLinks(context.Background()).Execute()
if err != nil {
	return err
}
```

**.rs**

```rust
use hanzo_client::apis::{configuration::Configuration, affiliate_api};

let mut cfg = Configuration::new();
cfg.bearer_access_token = std::env::var("HANZO_API_KEY").ok();

let result = affiliate_api::post_affiliate_me_links(&cfg, Default::default()).await?;
```

**.java**

```java
import ai.hanzo.cloud.ApiClient;
import ai.hanzo.cloud.api.AffiliateApi;

ApiClient client = new ApiClient();
client.setBearerToken(System.getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"));

var result = new AffiliateApi(client).postAffiliateMeLinks();
```

**HTTP**

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/affiliate/me/links \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "code": "<code>",
       "label": "<label>"
     }'
```

**MCP**

MCP reaches **affiliate** through the `affiliate` tool, which names its 10 operations with its own verbs — this one among them, under a name only MCP declares. `describe` explains any of them:

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "jsonrpc": "2.0",
       "id": 1,
       "method": "tools/call",
       "params": {
         "name": "describe",
         "arguments": {
           "op": "list_affiliates"
         }
       }
     }'
```
