# About the Referral Tracker API

The Referral Tracker API allows you to monitor and analyze referral events in a site's referral program.

With the Referral Tracker API, you can:

+ [Get a referral event](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-management/marketing/referral-program/referral-tracker/get-referral-event.md) to retrieve details about a specific referral event.
+ [Query referral events](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-management/marketing/referral-program/referral-tracker/query-referral-event.md) to filter and retrieve multiple referral events.
+ [Get referral statistics](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-management/marketing/referral-program/referral-tracker/get-referral-statistics.md) to obtain overall metrics about a referral program.
