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.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/bonusly: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
