  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.'

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Friendbuy Referrals API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
