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

Guusto is an employee recognition and rewards platform that lets teams send digital gifts, run peer-to-peer and top-down recognition programs, and redeem rewards across a large merchant network, prepaid Mastercard, and charitable donations. Guusto exposes a documented REST Gifts API for programmatically ordering gifts, tracking order status, retrieving workspace and member reward budgets, and pulling recognition activity and manager-insight reports.

API access is gated to the Guusto Premium plan. The Free, Lite, and Essential tiers do not include API access. The API is real and OpenAPI-backed (docs.guusto.com), authenticated with a Bearer API token plus an X-Workspace-id header, and offers a production environment (https://api.guusto.com/api/v1) and a demo/test environment (https://api-demo.guusto.io/api/v1). Guusto's own API is request/response REST only - there is no documented public WebSocket/streaming API. The endpoints documented here are confirmed from Guusto's published API reference (not modeled).
