info:
  title: Friendbuy Merchant Analytics Referrals API
  description: 'The Friendbuy Merchant API is the server-to-server REST interface for Friendbuy''s referral and loyalty marketing platform. Merchants use it to sync customer records, generate personal referral links, track conversion events (purchases, sign-ups, and custom events), pull campaign analytics, and manage loyalty ledger balances and reward redemptions. The base URL is https://mapi.fbot.me/v1 (the fbot.me host is Friendbuy''s Merchant API origin). Authentication is a two-step flow: exchange an account key and secret at POST /authorization for a short-lived Bearer JWT, then send that token as `Authorization: Bearer <token>` on every subsequent request.

    Endpoint paths in this document are grounded in Friendbuy''s public developer documentation at developers.friendbuy.com. Request and response schemas are honestly modeled from the documented behavior and common Friendbuy payload fields; exact field-level shapes should be reconciled against the live reference before production use.'
