Guusto is an employee recognition and rewards platform that lets teams send digital gifts, run peer-to-peer and top-down recognition programs, and redeem rewards with 60,000+ merchant locations, prepaid Mastercard, and charitable donations. Guusto exposes a REST Gifts API - available on the Premium plan - for programmatically ordering gifts, tracking order status, retrieving workspace and member reward budgets, and pulling recognition activity and manager insight reports. Requests are authenticated with a Bearer API token plus an X-Workspace-id header against production (api.guusto.com) or a demo test environment (api-demo.guusto.io).
