# 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 integrated 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](https://giftbit.mintlify.site/api-reference/ping/ping.md), an [error code reference](https://giftbit.mintlify.site/guides/response-codes.md), code examples, and a [guide to getting started](https://giftbit.mintlify.site/guides/getting-started.md).

> [!NOTE]

> Giftbit has dedicated technical and business resources to help you choose the right implementation path for your integration. Email [sales@giftbit.com](mailto:sales@giftbit.com) to get assistance with your project.

**1. Sign up for the Testbed**

Sign up at [testbedapp.giftbit.com](https://testbedapp.giftbit.com/register/index) and visit `Account → API keys` to generate an API token for the Testbed environment.

**2. Build and Test**

Your Testbed account provides a large virtual account balance, so you can try each reward format and evaluate which order method best suits your use case. Email [sales@giftbit.com](mailto:sales@giftbit.com) for assistance with your project.
