AirPerks API integration & OpenData rewards export

1. Authorized session & user binding

We replay the AirPerks authorization handshake, refresh its session tokens, and expose a clean /auth endpoint so your backend can bind its internal user to an AirPerks account without shipping raw credentials. Session TTLs, device fingerprints, and multi-factor flows are all covered.

2. Paid-survey earnings API

Pull daily, weekly, or on-demand listings of completed surveys — topic, length, reward amount (typically $0.50 to $5, with some up to $20+), and the final approved state. Supports pagination by cursor and incremental sync via updated_after so your data warehouse stays fresh.

3. Cashback & shopping transactions

Retrieve retailer orders, basket totals, cashback rate, tracking status (pending / confirmed / rejected), and partner category. We normalize output across AirPerks’ 100+ retail partners so downstream reporting is consistent — no per-merchant shape differences.

4. Payout ledger (PayPal & gift cards)

Read all redemptions: PayPal transfers, Amazon, Visa prepaid, Google Play, PlayStation, Target, Walmart, Starbucks, and the rest of the 100+ gift card catalog. Each payout carries state, 24–48h settlement timestamps, and a reconciliation key we recommend for double-entry bookkeeping.

5. Air+ mobile plan billing hooks

In 2024 AirPerks launched Air+, a mobile plan tied directly to survey earnings. We expose the billing events — plan tier, monthly cost, earnings applied, earn booster (20%+) credit, and subscriber loyalty balance — so fintech partners can treat survey income like a micro-payroll stream.

6. Webhook / push stream

Rather than polling, you can subscribe to AirPerks-derived webhooks: survey.completed, payout.settled, cashback.confirmed, and airplus.topup. Each event is signed (HMAC-SHA256) and idempotent via an event_id header, so retries never double-count revenue.

A. Consolidated gig-income dashboard

A micro-earnings aggregator wants to blend AirPerks rewards with other survey and task apps. Our /earnings and /payouts endpoints feed their warehouse every 15 minutes, mapping survey income, cashback, and Air+ credits into one external_payout record per user. The result: a single screen that shows monthly take-home across all sources.

B. Affiliate & merchant reconciliation

A retail marketing team runs cashback campaigns at Walmart and Target. We pull cashback.confirmed events, join them to the merchant’s own order IDs, and emit CSVs to their FTP. Disputes drop because both sides reconcile against the same normalized transaction keys and the 24–48h payout timestamp chain.

C. Air+ mobile plan billing sync

A telco partner offers co-branded service bundled with Air+. Using our airplus.topup and airplus.plan endpoints, earned rewards applied to a mobile bill appear in the telco’s own billing system as a discount line, not an opaque credit. The telco keeps GAAP-compliant books while the end user sees their survey income fund their phone service.

D. Tax & 1099-style reporting

For US users crossing the reportable income threshold, an accounting platform needs a clean year-end export. We deliver a monthly batch job that sums AirPerks PayPal payouts, gift-card issuance, and Air+ credits, tags them by fair-market value, and emits a statement suitable for Schedule C preparation.

E. Fraud and duplicate-account control

Panel operators worry about multi-accounting. By combining device metadata, session history, and survey completion cadence via our /sessions and /risk endpoints, operators can score users in near real time — and quarantine obvious bot clusters without touching raw PII.

Regulations we build against

Because AirPerks is live across the US and EU (UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Austria) and processes reward-style micro-payments, every integration we ship is designed to align with GDPR for EU users, UK GDPR & Data Protection Act 2018, the CCPA / CPRA for California residents, and PSD2-style strong customer authentication when payouts touch a regulated payment institution. For survey panels we also respect ESOMAR guidelines so research-grade data stays separated from identity data.

Privacy guardrails we apply

• Explicit user consent records, stored with timestamp and scope
• Data minimization — profile fields are only exposed when a scope demands them
• Field-level encryption for email, phone, and payout account
• Right-to-erasure and right-to-portability hooks baked into the source code
• Region-aware data residency (EU data stays on EU hosts by default)

Swagbucks

One of the largest reward platforms, with over $470M paid to users. Holds surveys, shopping, video, and search-reward data. Teams that integrate AirPerks often want unified PayPal-redemption ledgers across both.

InboxDollars

Pays real cash rather than points, with surveys in the $0.50–$5+ range and a $30 cashout floor. A natural sibling to AirPerks for anyone building a consolidated gig-income dashboard.

Branded Surveys

Available in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia with a $5 cashout and the Branded Elite loyalty tier. Useful reference data for panel loyalty models alongside AirPerks’ Air+ booster.

Survey Junkie

Clean point-to-dollar conversion (100 points = $1), $10 cashout, and a well-documented panel experience. A common second source for anyone normalizing survey-income data.

Kashkick

$0.50–$2.50 per survey with a $10 cashout and a paid-gaming component. Maps well to AirPerks’ “earn multiple ways” model when building unified earnings exports.

Prime Opinion

Global reach, higher-value surveys ($5+), $5 cashout, and sign-up bonuses. Frequently paired with AirPerks in multi-country panel monetization strategies.

Toluna

International panel with steady survey volume and varied cashout minimums. Integrations typically focus on survey-completion and reward-inventory data.

Opinion Outpost

$0.50–$5 per survey, PayPal, Amazon, Apple, and Nike gift cards. Similar payout topology to AirPerks, which makes a shared export schema straightforward.

Freecash

Daily payouts, surveys, games, videos, and offerwalls — users report around $27.90 in daily earnings. A strong candidate when you need a high-velocity companion dataset to AirPerks.

FeaturePoints & Google Opinion Rewards

FeaturePoints has paid out $6M+ since 2012 and mixes surveys with app-install rewards; Google Opinion Rewards issues Google Play Balance for 3–5 question surveys. Both round out the rewards-data picture around AirPerks.
