Ionisation potential: The energy required to remove an electron from or neutral isolated gaseous atom and convert it into a positively charged gaseous ion is called ionization potential.
Electron affinity: the amount of energy released while converting a neutral gaseous isolated atom into a negatively charged gaseous iron addition of electron is called electron affinity
Electron affinity: the amount of energy released while converting a neutral gaseous isolated atom into a negatively charged gaseous iron addition of electron is called electron affinity

Ionisation energy is the energy to remove an electron from an atom. The first ionisation energy is the energy to remove one electron from a neutral atom, to make an ion with a +1 charge. Ionisation energies can also be defined and measured for removing the 2nd, 3rd electron and so on.
Electron affinity is to do with the energy required to add an electron to a neutral atom to make a -1 charge.
