Octobat
Octobat is a billing, invoicing, and tax-compliance platform for online businesses. It automates the creation, delivery, and storage of legally compliant invoices, credit notes, self-billing invoices, and tax receipts for every online transaction, and provides a real-time tax (VAT / GST / sales tax) determination engine for tax-exclusive and tax-inclusive billing models. Octobat integrates with Stripe, GoCardless, and other payment providers, and exposes a Stripe-style REST API at base URL https://apiv2.octobat.com authenticated with HTTP Basic (secret key). Octobat also ships Beanie (a hosted checkout) and Plaza (marketplace / platform tax and invoicing for connected accounts). Operating status - Octobat was acquired by Mirakl in November 2021; the standalone marketing site (octobat.com) now redirects to mirakl.com, while the developer documentation at docs.octobat.com and the apiv2.octobat.com API remain available to existing integrators.
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 Octobat the way a machine reads it — 16 machine-readable artifacts across 9 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 — Octobat scores 38.7/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 48/100 (agent ready). 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 Octobat
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Octobat. 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 9
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.
Octobat Coupons API
Discount coupons for invoices and subscriptions.
Octobat Credit Notes API
Compliant credit notes issued against invoices.
Octobat Customers API
Customers and their billing / tax details.
Octobat Invoices API
Compliant invoices, their items, and lifecycle actions.
Octobat Payouts API
Settlement payouts and their balance transactions.
Octobat Products API
Products and their tax categorization.
Octobat Subscriptions API
Recurring-billing subscriptions and metered usage.
Octobat Tax Evidence API
Real-time tax determination for customers and carts / checkouts.
Octobat Transactions API
Payments registered against invoices for reconciliation and tax reporting.

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 COLLECTIONPricing Plans 1
Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.
Published pricing tiers and plan structures.
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.

RATE LIMITSFinOps 1
Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.
Cost, billing, and metering signals for API financial operations.

FINOPSSecurity 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.
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.
