Bonusly Bonuses API

  title: Bonusly API
  description: >-
    The Bonusly API is the REST interface behind the Bonusly employee
    recognition and rewards platform. It exposes bonuses (peer-to-peer
    recognition posts that carry points), users, the reward catalog,
    redemptions, awards, company settings, and analytics. All endpoints are
    served under the base https://bonus.ly/api/v1 and authenticated with a
    Bearer personal access token (PAT) minted by a Global or Tech admin, with
    fine-grained read / write / administer scopes per resource. A token that
    lacks the required scope returns 403 Forbidden. A newer public surface is
    also available under https://bonus.ly/api/public. API access is available
    on paid Bonusly plans. This description models the publicly documented
    endpoints; verify exact request and response shapes against the live
    reference at https://docs.bonus.ly.
