Ravelin

Ravelin is a London-based fraud detection and prevention platform offering AI-native, real-time decisioning APIs for online merchants. Their products cover payment fraud, chargeback recovery, account takeover (ATO) protection, refund and policy abuse, marketplace and supplier fraud, and a PSP-agnostic 3D Secure server. Ravelin combines per-merchant machine learning models, graph network analysis, and a consortium database of identity signals to score every customer interaction across checkout, login, registration, and post-transaction events.

agent aware

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 Ravelin the way a machine reads it — 55 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 — Ravelin scores 38.5/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 24/100 (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. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

How we profile Ravelin

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Ravelin. 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 12

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.

Notable capabilities this provider offers.

Per-Merchant Machine Learning

Custom ML models trained and tuned to each merchant's traffic, products, and fraud patterns rather than a single global model.

Graph Network Analysis

Link analysis across customers, devices, payment instruments, and addresses to surface hidden fraud rings and shared-identity clusters.

Consortium Identity Database

A shared identity-signals consortium spanning 9+ billion identity elements used to enrich risk scoring across all merchants.

Real-Time Decisioning

ALLOW / REVIEW / PREVENT decisions returned synchronously on every checkout, login, registration, voucher, and transaction event.

PSP-Agnostic 3D Secure

A 3DS Server that works with any acquirer or PSP, supports dynamic exemption routing, and is bundled with native iOS and Android 3DS SDKs.

Manual Review Workflow

Built-in dashboard for human review of borderline cases with webhook callbacks to sync decisions back to the merchant's order management system.

Rules Engine

Merchant-authored rules layered on top of ML scores, executed in active or passive mode so new rules can be safely shadow-tested before going live.

Per-Customer Rate Limiting

A built-in 50 events-per-minute-per-customer guardrail that returns a PREVENT action with source RATE_LIMIT to defend against scripted abuse.

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.

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.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Ravelin, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
