Beyond sending rewards, these utility endpoints help you build robust integrations with user validation, payment requests, and identity management.
Developer Tools - These APIs handle the edge cases and user management tasks that make your rewards system production-ready.

​
Why These Matter

​
Prevent Failed Rewards

// ❌ Bad: Send and hope
try {
  await sendReward({ gamertag: userInput, amount: 1000 });
} catch (error) {
  // Reward failed, bad user experience
}

// ✅ Good: Validate first
const userId = await getUserIdByGamertag(userInput);
if (userId) {
  await sendReward({ gamertag: userInput, amount: 1000 });
  // Success guaranteed
} else {
  showError("Invalid gamertag. Please check and try again.");
}

​
Track Users Properly

Gamertags Can Change
// Monday: User is "bitcoinlover"
database.save({ gamertag: "bitcoinlover", totalEarned: 5000 });

// Tuesday: User changes to "cryptoking"  
database.save({ gamertag: "cryptoking", totalEarned: 1000 });

// Now you have duplicate records! 😱
