Raise

Raise is a digital gift card marketplace and commerce platform. Raise for Business exposes the Raise Commerce API — a REST/JSON API that lets partners programmatically browse a catalog of retailer gift card brands, purchase fixed- and variable-load gift cards, check and manage card balances, and reconcile transactions and commissions across 180+ currencies and many countries. Authentication is OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens (server-to-server client credentials, plus app/web auth with SR25519/RSA key pairs, SMS, or TOTP). The API uses a JSON:API-style data envelope, page-based pagination, request metadata, and client_order_id idempotency. Prior investors include Accel, PayPal, and NEA.

Raise publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Consumer, Gift Cards, Commerce, and Payments.

Raise’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, and 6 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Payments 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.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/raise: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
