Evri

Evri is the United Kingdom's largest dedicated parcel delivery company, formerly Hermes UK, headquartered in Leeds and majority owned by Apollo-managed funds. Following the CMA-cleared 2025 merger with DHL eCommerce UK, the combined group delivers more than a billion parcels a year across a courier network of 30,000+ couriers and van drivers, thousands of ParcelShops and lockers, and domestic, returns and international services for retailers and marketplace sellers. Evri sits at the last-mile end of the supply chain — the carrier a shipper, retailer or e-commerce platform hands a parcel to for final delivery in the UK. Its API posture is customer-contract portal only: Evri publishes no developer portal, no public API reference and no machine-readable specification. The host api.evri.com resolves to a live Tyk API Gateway (5.13.0) whose only publicly reachable path is an unauthenticated health check; every other probed path returns 404 and no listen path is discoverable without credentials. Shipment, label, ParcelShop, Print in Store and tracking credentials are issued by an Evri account manager or sales representative to contracted Corporate or Business accounts, with sandbox and production credentials handed over by email. In practice most integrators reach Evri indirectly through shipping-API aggregators such as EasyPost, ShipEngine / ShipStation, Sendcloud, AfterShip and Intersoft Sapient rather than directly.

human only

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.

Kin Score

Evri 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 — Evri scores 10.2/100 (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

Evri 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.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Evri, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
