Navan

Navan (formerly TripActions until its February 2023 rebrand) is a Palo Alto, California corporate travel and expense management platform that combines business travel booking, expense management, and corporate cards into a single product. Navan operates a global travel inventory with 24/7 agent support, a swipe-to-reconciliation expense flow with AI-assisted categorization and policy enforcement, and Navan Connect, a card-link network compatible with Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. Newer offerings include Navan Edge, a frequent-traveler assistant, and a Rewards program that incentivizes policy-compliant bookings. The company serves more than 10,000 organizations including Canva, DoorDash, and Duolingo. Navan exposes a partner-grade integration surface — a Booking Data API, an Expense API, a User Management REST API, a SCIM 2.0 provisioning endpoint, and an OAuth 2.0 client-credentials token endpoint — all under api.navan.com. Credentials and reference documentation are provisioned through the Admin portal (Settings → Integrations → API and Admin → SCIM settings) rather than a public developer portal, so the API contracts are not currently published as a downloadable OpenAPI specification.

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 Navan the way a machine reads it — 2 machine-readable artifacts, 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 — Navan scores 25.4/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 10/100 (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.

How we profile Navan

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

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.
