SiteMinder
SiteMinder is an Australian hotel commerce platform (ASX SDR) that connects hotels with more than 450 online distribution channels, including OTAs (Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb, Agoda), metasearch sites (Google, Trivago, TripAdvisor), and global distribution systems. Through its developer portal at developer.siteminder.com, SiteMinder publishes five integration APIs spanning property management system connectivity (pmsXchange), booking channel distribution (SiteConnect, Channels Plus), metasearch publication (SMX), and direct booking flows (Direct Booking API). The platform serves more than 53,000 properties across 150 countries and manages over three million hotel rooms.
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.
API Evangelist profiles SiteMinder the way a machine reads it — 40 machine-readable artifacts across 5 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 — SiteMinder scores 21.0/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (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.

APIs 5
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.
