API - Retrieve Sponsor & Perk info

[Joe Lippeatt]

Is there a roadmap for retrieving sponsor & perk info via API?  Whenever I send out emails, I often include a block at the bottom that lists "group benefits" such as our perks.  I copy/paste it from a text file so I don't of to go re-create the text over and over.

But recently we've added a new sponsor and a coupe of new perks ... and they sometimes expire.  Would be nice if I could just grab that from an API call and paste that in.

All it would have to include is the sponsor/perk name, link, text and link to logo, just like it does on the site now.  And maybe a flag to signify perk vs sponsor?

Sure, that's pretty straightforward. I'll add it to our todo list.

Great! Thanks

This is live now, as an optional field "sponsors" of the /2/groups method:

Yes!  Perfect.

So that I follow along, the only difference between a sponsor and a perk is that perks have a perk url, correct?

Thanks again!

Right, that's the way to tell. And if the authorized member is in the group, "redeem" will be present for perks.
