Bonusly Rate Limits

Bonusly rate-limits its API, but does not publish fixed numeric per-minute request ceilings. The documentation states that limits vary by operation and that exceeding a limit returns HTTP 429 Too Many Requests with a Retry-After header indicating when to retry. Limits can be raised on request. Access itself is gated by scope rather than volume: a personal access token carries read / write / administer scopes per resource, and calling an endpoint without the required scope returns 403 Forbidden. On the Organization plan with the Bizy AI add-on, AI-agent access through the MCP server carries a separate included allotment of tool calls per month.

Bonusly Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Bonusly on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.

It captures 3 rate-limit definitions, measuring requests, scope, and tool_calls.

The profile also includes 3 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled and forbidden.

Tagged areas include Employee Recognition, Rewards, HR, Rate Limiting, and Quotas.

Policies

Retry-After
On a 429 response the API returns a Retry-After header; clients should wait the indicated interval before retrying.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter and honor Retry-After rather than retrying immediately.
Limit Increases
Rate limits can be raised on request by contacting Bonusly.
