Introduction

Giftbit’s REST API allows you to automatically order rewards and send them to your recipients. Delivery can be handled either by links that are intergrated into another system’s workflow or by emails that are sent through the Giftbit system.

This documentation includes a definitive list of endpoints under the API reference, an error code reference, code examples, and a guide to getting started.

Giftbit has dedicated technical and business resources to help you choose the right implementation path for your integration. Email [e-mail] to get assistance with your project.

1. Sign up for the Testbed

   Sign up at testbedapp.giftbit.com and visit Account → API keys to generate an API token for the Testbed environment.

2. Explore with a virtual balance

   Your Testbed account provides a large virtual account balance, so you can try placing orders and redeeming test cards to observe the recipient experience. Email [e-mail] for assistance with your project.

3. Go live

   When your integration is ready to launch, sign up at app.giftbit.com and contact [e-mail] to signal production readiness. The Giftbit team will enable permissions to generate an API token in your production account. See Going live for details.
