Despegar
Despegar (Decolar in Brazil) is the leading online travel agency in Latin America, selling flights, hotels, activities, car rentals, insurance and vacation packages across the region. Its Despegar B2B platform exposes a partner API ecosystem so travel agencies and resellers can integrate hotel, flight and activity search, pre-booking, payment, booking and after-sales (cancellations, rescheduling, special requests) directly into their own systems, backed by geo/common-assets reference data and an event/notification channel. APIs are versioned under /v3, authenticated with a per-client API key (x-apikey header) with separate test and production keys, protected with mTLS for B2B transactions, and now also reachable through published Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for AI agents. This profile was enriched from Despegar's public developer documentation at api-docs.despegar.com.
Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.
API Evangelist profiles Despegar the way a machine reads it — 24 machine-readable artifacts across 20 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
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 — Despegar scores 39.3/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 58/100 (agent ready). 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.

APIs 20
Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.
