Awardco is an all-in-one employee recognition, rewards, and engagement platform built around a global rewards marketplace that includes a native Amazon Business integration, gift cards, service awards, and swag. Awardco exposes a documented public REST API at https://api.awardco.com/api for administrators and integration partners - callers authenticate with a permission-scoped API key passed as a request header, all responses are JSON with a success flag, and all timestamps are ISO 8601. The API is not open self-serve - it is gated behind an Awardco account and the API Key Management permission, and partners additionally send an X-Partner-Id header. Documented capabilities cover user provisioning (create, import, reset password), recognizing employees and awarding points, and retrieving or scheduling reports. Awardco also ships prebuilt HRIS, SSO/SAML, Slack, and Microsoft Teams integrations plus Awardco Connect for custom flows. Exact request and response schemas for individual methods are not published on the open web, so the API surfaces below are modeled from Awardco's public documentation and help center rather than a released OpenAPI definition.
