Kurly

Kurly (컬리, operated by The Farmers Front) is a South Korean online grocery and lifestyle commerce company, known for Market Kurly and its overnight "dawn delivery" (샛별배송) model built on a cold-chain fulfillment network. Kurly Logistics Services (KLS) opens that network to contracted shipper clients (화주사) as a B2B Open API spanning three service families: fulfillment (물류대행), where Kurly holds and ships the shipper's stock, covering goods master, inbound receiving, inventory and ledgers, outbound orders and fulfillment plans; delivery agency (배송대행), where the shipper ships from their own warehouse over Kurly's Nextmile last-mile network; and shared delivery tracking. Access is contract-gated — clientId and secretKey are issued only after IP allowlist registration — and Kurly states as policy that KLS does not push data to external systems, so integrations poll rather than subscribe to webhooks.

agent native

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Kurly the way a machine reads it — 12 machine-readable artifacts across 3 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 — Kurly scores 45.6/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 85/100 (agent native). 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 Kurly

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

Kurly Authentication API

The Authentication API from Kurly — 1 operation(s) for authentication.

Kurly 배송운영 정책 API

The 배송운영 정책 API from Kurly — 26 operation(s) for 배송운영 정책.

Kurly Delivery Tracking (배송추적) API

The Delivery Tracking (배송추적) API from Kurly — 1 operation(s) for delivery tracking (배송추적).

Arazzo Workflows 4

Real integrations are rarely a single call. Arazzo describes the multi-step sequences — auth, then create, then confirm — so both a human and an agent can follow the choreography, not just the endpoints.

Multi-step API workflows described with the Arazzo specification.

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

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.

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.
