Blink Booking
Blink Booking was a Madrid, Spain based mobile application for last-minute hotel booking, founded in 2011 by Rebeca Minguela and Miguel Ortega Rodriguez. The app presented travellers with a curated daily selection of four discounted hotels for same-day stays, working with more than 2,000 hotel partners across eight European countries, and competed directly with HotelTonight. The company raised approximately $2.5M in a Series A round in May 2012 from Ventech, Uncork Capital (then SoftTech VC), 500 Global (then 500 Startups) and Kibo Ventures. Groupon acquired Blink Booking in September 2013 to strengthen its Groupon Getaways travel division; the app was rebranded "Blink by Groupon" and was wound down over the following months. The company is defunct and publishes no developer surface, no API, and no documentation. Its former blinkbooking.com domain lapsed and was re-registered in August 2020 by an unrelated party; it now redirects to a third-party gambling site and must not be treated as a company property.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
Blink Booking is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Blink Booking scores 6.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

The organization behind the API
Blink Booking is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
