doordash

DoorDash is an on-demand local commerce platform whose developer program exposes its logistics and marketplace network through public APIs. The Drive and Drive Classic APIs let businesses request on-demand deliveries fulfilled by DoorDash's Dasher fleet, while the Marketplace, Item Management, and Reporting APIs let merchants and retailers receive orders, synchronize menus and catalogs, and access financial and operational reporting. All APIs use JWT-based authentication and are documented at developer.doordash.com.

agent ready

Solid contracts, transparent operations, and an easy start — typically complete on four or five facets with one clear soft spot.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles doordash the way a machine reads it — 209 machine-readable artifacts across 12 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 — doordash scores 65.7/100 (strong), with a separate agent-readiness read of 54/100 (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.

How we profile doordash

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for doordash. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 12

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.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

doordash Addresses API

Get address auto-completion suggestions based on partial input.

doordash Businesses API

Manage business entities that represent legal entities or owners.

doordash Catalog API

Manage the item catalog including adding new items and updating existing item information such as names, descriptions, images, and attributes.

doordash Deliveries API

Create, retrieve, update, cancel, and estimate deliveries using the classic API endpoints.

doordash Inventory API

Manage store-level inventory, pricing, and other in-store attributes for items on the DoorDash platform.

doordash Items API

Manage item availability and 86ing (marking items as unavailable) in real time.

doordash Menus API

Create, update, and manage menus for stores on the DoorDash marketplace.

doordash Orders API

Receive, confirm, update, and manage orders placed through the DoorDash marketplace.

doordash Promotions API

Manage item-level promotions at the store level, including adding and updating promotional pricing.

doordash Quotes API

Validate delivery serviceability and get pricing quotes before creating a delivery.

doordash Reports API

Create report requests and retrieve report download links for financial, operations, menu, and feedback data.

doordash Stores API

Manage store locations associated with businesses.

Open Collections 5

GraphQL 1

Where a provider ships GraphQL, the schema is the contract. We profile it alongside the REST surface so the whole interface is legible in one place.

GraphQL schemas published by this provider.

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Cost, billing, and metering signals for API financial operations.

Event Specifications 3

Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

Semantic Vocabularies 9

JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.

Security Posture 3
