Bonusly Users API

openapi: 3.2.0
info:
  title: Bonusly Analytics Users 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.
