Perk

Perk (formerly TravelPerk) is the intelligent platform for corporate travel and spend management, combining travel booking with expense, invoice, and card controls for finance teams. Founded in Barcelona in 2015, Perk serves thousands of global teams and is backed by General Catalyst, SoftBank Vision Fund, Speedinvest and others. Its developer platform exposes a Travel & Spend REST API, a SCIM 2.0 user-provisioning API, webhooks, a sandbox, a public Postman collection, and an official hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI clients.

agent ready

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Perk the way a machine reads it — 8 machine-readable artifacts across 2 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 — Perk scores 44.5/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 46/100 (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 Perk

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Perk. 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 2

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.

Perk Travel & Spend API

REST API for Perk travel, expense, invoice, trip, cost-center, event, and card data. Authenticate with an account API key (customers) or OAuth 2.0 (partners); send Api-Version: 1.

Perk SCIM API

SCIM 2.0 user-provisioning API for creating, updating, and deactivating Perk users from identity providers (Okta, Microsoft Entra ID), including an expense extension schema.

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.

Event Specifications 1

Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

Security 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.

Scopes 1

OAuth scopes are the vocabulary of least-privilege access. Profiling them shows exactly what an integration — or an agent acting on a user's behalf — is allowed to do.
