Thinking becoming aliexpress affiliate but.

Thinking of trying aliexpress as an affiliate.
I applied to be an affiliate got accepted but need their API. Applied for the API and it's been over a week now.

Googled around and read that aliexpress api is no longer around due to "abuses".

I just need the api for a plugin I have to easily import products. Apparently I can't get the plugin so ho how do you mass import products? I heard of a CSV method but not sure how that works.

Can anyone help.

Thanks.
