Rightmove
Rightmove is the United Kingdom's largest residential property portal, operated by Rightmove Group Limited (Milton Keynes) and listed on the London Stock Exchange as Rightmove plc. It aggregates for-sale, to-let, new-homes, commercial and overseas listings supplied by member estate agents, letting agents and new-homes developers, and monetises the audience by charging those agents for advertising rather than by licensing data. The UK has no MLS, so Rightmove sits at the demand end of the value chain and its inbound feeds — not any cooperative database — are the machine-readable surface. Its API posture is publish-in, not read-out - the documented APIs let an agent's CRM or feed provider push listings into Rightmove, and there is no public API for reading listings, sold prices or valuations. A public Apigee developer portal at api-docs.rightmove.co.uk ("Rightmove APIs - Early adopters") anonymously serves a real OpenAPI 3.0.1 contract for the Commercial Listings API, and www.rightmove.co.uk/adf.html publishes the Real Time Data Feed specification, but working credentials for every environment are issued case by case by the Rightmove Data Feed Team and use is governed by a binding End User Licence Agreement. No RESO Web API or Data Dictionary certification, OData `$metadata` document or Universal Property Identifier appears anywhere in Rightmove's surface - RESO is a North American, NAR-driven standard with no UK counterpart, and Rightmove uses its own proprietary ADF/RTDF schema instead.
Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.
API Evangelist profiles Rightmove the way a machine reads it — 7 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 — Rightmove scores 46.5/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 69/100 (agent native). 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 Rightmove
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Rightmove. 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.

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.

RATE LIMITSSecurity 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.

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.
OAuth scopes governing access to this provider's APIs.
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.
