Connect via API

Rewardata is one REST API for global compensation, tax, social-security, benefits, cost-of-living and global-mobility data. Authenticate with an API key, call any endpoint over HTTPS, and get JSON back — every value carries its source, year and confidence.

Quick start

1. Get an API key

   Sign in and copy your key from your profile. Keys look like rwd_… and are issued to approved accounts.

2. Authenticate

   Send your key in the X-API-Key header on every request. Base URL: https://rewardata.com/api/v1. The catalogue endpoints (/countries, /fields, /categories) are public; /data needs an approved key.

3. Make a request

   # Average annual wage in Germany
   curl "https://rewardata.com/api/v1/data?country=DEU&field=average_annual_wage" \
        -H "X-API-Key: rwd_your_key_here"
   
   # Bulk query — many countries/fields in one call
   curl -X POST "https://rewardata.com/api/v1/bulk-query" \
        -H "X-API-Key: rwd_your_key_here" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
        -d '{"countries":["DEU","FRA","USA"],"fields":["average_annual_wage","capital_gains_tax_rate_pct"]}'
