Nectar

Nectar is an employee recognition and rewards platform that helps organizations build culture through peer-to-peer and manager recognition, a points-based global rewards catalog (gift cards, Amazon, swag, custom company rewards), automated milestone celebrations, and internal comms. Nectar exposes a documented Open API (base https://api.nectarhr.com, Swagger at /docs) covering users, the company recognition feed, custom awards, financial redemption analytics, and Flow triggers. The API is an account add-on - access is enabled by Nectar support/your account manager and then a scoped API key is generated in Settings > Integrations; all endpoints use Bearer (JWT) authentication.

Nectar publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Analytics API, Custom Awards API, Flows API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Employee Recognition, Rewards, Points, HR, and Employee Engagement.

Nectar’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, and 9 more developer resources.
