Bonusly

Bonusly is an employee recognition and rewards platform that lets coworkers give each other small, frequent, public bonuses tied to company values, which recipients redeem for gift cards, custom rewards, donations, and more. The Bonusly REST API (base https://bonus.ly/api/v1) exposes the same surface the product is built on - bonuses, users, the reward catalog, redemptions, awards, company settings, and analytics - authenticated with a Bearer personal access token. API access is available on paid plans; tokens are minted by admins with fine-grained read / write / administer scopes.

Bonusly publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Analytics API, Bonuses API, Company API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Employee Recognition, Rewards, Employee Engagement, HR, and Company Culture.

Bonusly’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, and 8 more developer resources.
