About this repository

This is not our API. This repository is an independent, third-party profile of a company's publicly available API surface, maintained by API Evangelist. API Evangelist does not operate, host, resell, or support this company's APIs, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated on the profile.

Where the information came from. Everything here is assembled from material a member of the public can reach with a browser and no credentials — the company's own website, developer portal and documentation, the specifications it publishes for public use (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, JSON Schema, apis.json, llms.txt and similar), its public repositories, and its public status, pricing and changelog pages. Nothing here is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials of any kind.

The rating is an independent assessment. The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated scores of a company's public API artifacts, produced by API Evangelist against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits, and they score published artifacts — not the quality, safety, or security of the software.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free. No partnership, contract, or purchase is required, and you do not need to justify the request.

  • Something wrong? Open an issue on this repository, or email info@apievangelist.com.
  • Published something new? Ask for a re-score and we will re-run the rating.
  • Want the listing taken down? Say so and we will honor it. The profile is reduced to your company name, a factual description, and a link to your own site, and the company is recorded as unrated — never scored zero for having asked.

Response times. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal or restriction within two business days; corrections and re-scores within five business days.

On a security or compliance team? Email info@apievangelist.com with security in the subject line and you will get a person, not a form. We will tell you exactly which public URLs this profile was built from so your team can see the same surface we did, and we will take the listing down on request while you work through it.

Full detail: Where this data comes from

Bonusly is an employee recognition and rewards platform that lets coworkers give each other small, frequent, public bonuses tied to company values, which recipients redeem for gift cards, custom rewards, donations, and more. The Bonusly REST API (base https://bonus.ly/api/v1) exposes the same surface the product is built on - bonuses, users, the reward catalog, redemptions, awards, company settings, and analytics - authenticated with a Bearer personal access token.

Access Model

API access is a paid feature. The free tier (capped at up to 8 users) is intended for evaluation; the REST API, HRIS integrations, and analytics come with the paid Team and Organization plans. Authentication uses a personal access token (PAT) passed as Authorization: Bearer <token>. Tokens are minted by a Global or Tech admin (from Company Settings > Integrations) or by a user from their profile's API tab, and carry fine-grained read / write / administer scopes per resource - calling an endpoint without the required scope returns 403 Forbidden. Tokens can live up to 365 days. A newer public surface is also served under https://bonus.ly/api/public, and Bonusly ships an MCP server (announced 2026-05-22) that fronts the same REST API for AI agents.

Rate limits vary by operation; exceeding one returns 429 Too Many Requests with a Retry-After header, and limits can be raised on request. No fixed numeric request ceiling is published.
