# Overview

> Introduction to the Mention Me Merchant API.

Welcome to the Merchant API guide.

The Merchant API can be used to access data about your customers as well as configuration data for Mention Me.

You can use it to:

* Perform common actions like marking a customer as **eligible for a reward**, or **purging** them
* Retrieve details about a customer, e.g. their segments or how often they've shared
