Bonuses

To motivate Tolokers to complete your project tasks quickly and provide high-quality responses, you can give extra bonuses for individual tasks, or reward one or more trusted Tolokers (in addition to paying them for task completion).

The bonus amount can be from $0.005 to $100 per Toloker per time.

A fee also applies to bonuses.

For a task

This is the recommended method, since it is the most economical and targeted for motivating Tolokers.

To issue a bonus for a specific pool task, use online task review:

  1. Click the Review assignments button on the pool page.

  2. Choose a task and open it. Please note that a bonus can only be issued for an accepted task.

  3. Click Actions → Issue bonus

    Example
  4. Fill in the fields in the Issue bonus window that appears:

    • Bonus per Toloker in dollars.

    • Topic and Message for Tolokers. Specify what exactly the bonus is credited for. To send messages in different languages, use the button for switching languages.

    Example
  5. Click Grant.

Selected Tolokers

To issue bonuses to Tolokers:

  1. Go to the Users page.

  2. Choose the Tolokers who will receive the bonus.

  3. Specify the project or pool in the corresponding fields in the left part of the page.

    Example
  4. To credit bonuses to one Toloker, click the link to their ID in the Toloker ID field.

    On the page that opens, click Actions → Issue bonus.

    To credit bonuses to a group of Tolokers click Issue bonus.

  5. Fill in the fields in the Issue bonus window that appears:

    • Bonus per Toloker in dollars.

    • Topic and Message for Tolokers. Specify the projects and accomplishments the bonus was granted for. To send messages in different languages, use the button for switching languages.

  6. Click Grant.

    Before doing this, check the number of people who will receive the bonus, and the total amount.

    Example

The Toloker will see bonuses for completed tasks, activity and quality of work in projects in their profile (the History tab). The transferred amounts are added to the list of payments.

Example

You can track money deducted for extra bonuses in your profile on the Spent tab.

How to work via Toloka API

To issue bonuses using Toloka API, send a POST request with the information about the bonuses:

curl -X POST 'https://toloka.dev/api/v1/user-bonuses' \
-H 'Authorization: ApiKey PlaceYourRealApiKey_Here' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"user_id":"fac97860c7929add8048ed2ef63b66fd", "amount":0.5, "public_title":{"EN":"Perfect job!"}, "public_message":{"EN":"You are the best!"}}'

Refer to the Issue bonuses section of the Toloka API documentation for more details about the request, its parameters, and possible responses. You will find examples of the requests for Toloka-Kit and other code samples there.
