  Client-side, on-page components Skimlinks provides for publishers to embed
  monetization directly into their pages, distinct from the server-side REST
  APIs. The core component is the Skimlinks JavaScript, a single embeddable
  script that affiliates outbound merchant links and (optionally) turns
  keywords into affiliate links in the browser.
families:
- name: Skimlinks JavaScript
  kind: on-page script
  loader: https://s.skimresources.com/js/{publisher_id}.skimlinks.js
  generic_loader: https://s.skimresources.com/js/skimlinks.js

    The Skimlinks on-page script. Once added to a site's template it rewrites
    eligible outbound merchant links to affiliated links at click time and
    reports clicks and impressions back to Skimlinks. Publishers obtain their
    site-specific script from the Publisher Hub.
  capabilities:
  - Automatic affiliation of existing outbound merchant links (Skimlinks)
  - Keyword-to-link conversion (Skimwords)
  - Click and page-impression tracking
  - xcust custom tracking passthrough
- name: Link Wrapper (go.skimresources.com)
  kind: link redirect service
  pattern: https://go.skimresources.com/?id={publisher_id}X{site_id}&url={target_url}&xcust={custom_id}
