**APIs profiled:** 6

LoyaltyLion is an e-commerce loyalty and rewards platform for Shopify, BigCommerce, and custom storefronts, letting merchants run points, referrals, VIP tiers, and reward programs. Its v2 REST API (base https://api.loyaltylion.com/v2) is split into an Admin API for moving data in and out of LoyaltyLion - retrieving customers and transactions, tracking orders, and adjusting points - and a Headless API for building custom shopper-facing loyalty experiences in web, mobile, and POS apps. Requests authenticate with a Program API key passed as a Bearer token (with scoped access), or the deprecated token/secret pair over HTTP Basic auth. All endpoints share a 20 requests-per-second rate limit.
