Ibotta is a Denver-based consumer technology company (NYSE: IBTA) that operates a cash-back rewards platform and the Ibotta Performance Network (IPN), a digital promotions and retail-media network. Consumers earn real cash back on everyday purchases in-store and online through the Ibotta mobile app, browser extension, and connected retailer loyalty accounts. For brands, agencies, and retailers, the Ibotta Performance Network distributes digital rebates and promotions to more than 200 million shoppers across Ibotta's owned properties and a network of partner retailers and publishers (including Walmart, Dollar General, Family Dollar, and others). Ibotta was surfaced in the API Evangelist network as a portfolio company of GGV Capital. Ibotta publishes exactly one machine-readable API contract: the Ibotta Product API (an OpenAPI 3.0.1 document at ibotta.com/bex-api/api-docs.json), declared by the ChatGPT plugin manifest Ibotta still serves at ibotta.com/.well-known/ai-plugin.json — a single product-search operation backing the Ibotta browser extension, gated by a service bearer token that is not self-serve. The Ibotta Performance Network APIs that partners actually integrate against are documented only inside the IPN partner portal (portal.ipn.ibotta.com), which is behind Auth0 and reached through a sales conversation; no public IPN API reference, pricing, or rate-limit documentation exists.
