Lighthouse
Lighthouse (formerly OTA Insight) is the commercial platform for the travel and hospitality industry, transforming data complexity into revenue growth for 80,000+ hotels across 185+ countries. Headquartered in London with offices across Europe, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific, Lighthouse combines market intelligence, business intelligence, and revenue management into a single SaaS suite. Core products include Rate Insight and Market Insight for competitive pricing and forward demand, Pricing Manager for automated revenue optimization, Benchmark Insight for Smart Compset competitive analysis, Business Intelligence for portfolio reporting, Parity Insight for distribution parity, Channel Manager for independent hotels, and newer AI products like KITT (AI receptionist) and Connect AI (ChatGPT direct-booking app). The platform processes 1.7 billion hotel rates per day across 300,000+ profiled competitor hotels. Lighthouse exposes a public, subscription-gated Integration API (api.mylighthouse.com, v3.1) for hotel customers and certified technology partners — covering Hotels, Markets, Rates, Demand, Ranking, Reviews, Parity, and Market Insight — and runs a partner program with 20+ named integrations including Mews, Infor, Duetto, Cendyn, Ideas, Atomize, SHR Group, and Cloudbeds. Revenue model is subscription SaaS sold by sales engagement; pricing is not published publicly.
Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.
API Evangelist profiles Lighthouse the way a machine reads it — 13 machine-readable artifacts across 8 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 — Lighthouse scores 31.0/100 (thin), 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 Lighthouse
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Lighthouse. 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 8
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.
Lighthouse Demand API
Market demand predictions per arrival date.
Lighthouse Hotels API
List hotels, competitors, compsets, and subscribed features.
Lighthouse Market Insight API
Forward-looking demand and search-volume insights.
Lighthouse Markets API
List markets and linked subscriptions.
Lighthouse Parity API
Rate parity comparisons across OTAs.
Lighthouse Ranking API
Hotel ranking positions across OTAs and ranking summaries.
Lighthouse Rates API
Current and historic lowest rates, rates per room type, and raw rates across OTAs.
Lighthouse Reviews API
Aggregated review scores across OTAs.

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.
Open, tool-agnostic API collections (OpenAPI-derived and Bruno).
Lighthouse Integration API
OPEN COLLECTIONSecurity Posture 3
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.
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals.
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.
Recommended x-agentic-access execution contracts for AI agents.
