Impala
Impala built a single, standardized REST API for the hotel industry — one integration to search availability, read rate plans, and create, amend, and cancel bookings across many property management systems (PMS), so any app could sell hotel rooms and earn commission per booking. Founded in London in 2016 and backed by Speedinvest, Lakestar, and Kima Ventures, Impala shipped a sandbox (with a demo hotel, "The Charleston"), a Postman collection, and PHP/JavaScript wrappers. The company is now defunct: getimpala.com / impala.travel and the API and docs hosts no longer resolve, and the primary domain is held by an unrelated party. This profile preserves the historical OpenAPI (apis.guru impala.travel:hotels 1.003) and pipeline-derived artifacts for the record.
API Evangelist profiles Impala the way a machine reads it — 8 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, 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. The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
How we profile Impala
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Impala. 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 3
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.
Impala Bookings API
Making and managing bookings.
Impala Hotels API
Accessing hotel content, available rooms and rates.
Impala Rate Calendar API
Getting rates for future dates.
Open Collections 4
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.

OPEN COLLECTIONSecurity Posture 1
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.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Impala, 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.
