Open Loyalty

Open Loyalty is an API-first, headless loyalty and gamification platform. Every loyalty mechanic - members, transactions, points, tiers/levels, earning rules, reward campaigns, and analytics - is exposed through a documented REST API, so brands assemble custom loyalty experiences on top of Open Loyalty rather than a fixed UI. The platform grew from an open-source loyalty engine (still available as a GitHub Open Source Edition capped at 200 members for testing) into a managed, cloud-hosted SaaS. Requests are JSON over HTTPS, authenticated with a JWT bearer token (per-store and admin login) or a permanent API token. The API is scoped per store using a storeCode path segment, and change events are delivered to consumers via outbound HTTP webhook callbacks.

Open Loyalty publishes 7 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Authorization API, Earning Rules API, Members API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include Loyalty, Gamification, Rewards, Points, and Loyalty Program.

The Open Loyalty catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Open Loyalty’s developer surface includes engineering blog, authentication, documentation, and 10 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

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.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
