Awards API

The Awards API is the programmable side of Sessionboard Awards. It has its own reference, MCP tools and release notes, apart from the other Sessionboard products.

Base path

Awards are organization-level, so every operation starts at /v1/organization/{orgId}/awards. It runs on the same regional hosts as the rest of the API: public-api.sessionboard.com in the US and public-api-eu.sessionboard.com in the EU.

What you can do

Programs

List, get, create, update and delete programs. Creating a program sets up its submission form and first round.

Categories, rounds and promo codes

Manage each program’s categories and subcategories, review rounds and promo codes.

Submissions

List submissions (by status, category or current round), read their answers, update them, delete them.

Reviews

Read each reviewer’s assignment and scores on a submission, and remove a reviewer.

Submissions are still created by nominees in the program’s portal, and scores are entered by reviewers in the review portal.

PUT and PATCH update only the fields you send. Deletes are soft: the record goes to Trash. Where the app asks you to confirm (a program with submissions, a round with reviewer assignments, a promo code already used, a category with submissions), the API answers 409 until you send force=true.

Awards needs the read:awards and write:awards scopes; see Authentication. AI assistants can do the same work with the Awards MCP tools. Release notes are in the Awards changelog.
