blackhawnketnork is built API-first. Every feature ships as a clean endpoint — no clunky dashboards, no vendor lock-in, no surprises.

Webhook-driven balance and redemption events fire the moment a card is touched. Zero polling, zero guesswork.
Issue cards in USD, EUR, GBP, and 30+ currencies. One API, every market — no currency-specific integrations required.
Set rate limits and spend-cap rules per API key. Block suspicious patterns before they cost you — configurable in real time.
Every API call logged with timestamp, key ID, and originating IP. Compliance-ready exports available on demand.
