Hopper

Hopper is a Boston- and Montreal-based travel booking platform and B2B travel fintech provider serving more than 120 million travelers globally. Its consumer app aggregates flights, hotels, rental cars, and homes alongside proprietary price prediction and a family of "for any reason" fintech ancillaries — Price Freeze, Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR), Change For Any Reason, Leave For Any Reason, and Disruption Guarantee. Through its B2B division, Hopper Technology Solutions (HTS), the company licenses those same fintech ancillaries, agentic AI customer service (HTS Assist), white-label travel agency products (HTS Stays, HTS Cars, HTS Packages), and travel loyalty portals to airlines, banks, and travel providers. HTS exposes a documented OAuth2-secured REST API — the HTS Airline API v1.1 — for embedding CFAR and Disruption Guarantee contracts in airline booking flows, with OpenAPI-generated SDKs for Java, .NET, Angular, and iOS, plus a JavaScript SDK for hotel price-freeze integration.

agent aware

More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Hopper the way a machine reads it — 9 machine-readable artifacts across 5 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 — Hopper scores 27.7/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 41/100 (agent aware). 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 Hopper

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Hopper. 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 5

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.

Open Collections 1

Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
