Zocdoc

Zocdoc is a healthcare appointment booking platform that provides a REST API for accessing provider availability, booking appointments, managing insurance verification, and patient scheduling. The Zocdoc for Developers platform enables integration with Zocdoc's provider network through patient booking, provider calendar integration, and insurance APIs using OAuth 2.0 authentication with both sandbox and production environments.

agent ready

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.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Zocdoc the way a machine reads it — 23 machine-readable artifacts across 10 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 — Zocdoc scores 48.1/100 (developing), 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 Zocdoc

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Zocdoc. 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 10

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.

Zocdoc appointments API

Endpoints for booking, cancelling, and rescheduling appointments, including retrieving current appointment statuses and updated information.

Zocdoc calendar-integration-timeslots API

Endpoints to manage timeslots for providers.

Zocdoc credentials API

Endpoints for managing API credentials.

Zocdoc facilities API

Endpoints to retrieve facilities within the developer's directory.

Zocdoc insurance-reference API

Endpoints to retrieve insurance plans supported by Zocdoc.

Zocdoc provider-locations API

Endpoints for retrieving and modifying provider location objects and their related insurance plans and availability.

Zocdoc providers API

Endpoints to retrieve providers within the developer's directory.

Zocdoc reference API

Endpoints to retrieve information about the developer's directory.

Zocdoc schedulable-entities API

Endpoints to retrieve schedulable entities with availability information.

Zocdoc webhook API

Sandbox endpoints to mock webhook behavior

Pricing 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.

Semantic Vocabularies 1

JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.

Spectral Rules 1

Governance rulesets we run against this provider's specs — the automated checks behind parts of the score. Profiling them makes the quality bar explicit and re-runnable, not a matter of opinion.

JSON Schema 3

Standalone JSON Schema definitions describe the data models behind the API. We profile them so the shapes are validatable on their own — useful long after a single request is forgotten.

Real request and response payloads are what turn a spec from abstract into obvious — and they're one of the twelve things an agent needs to call an API correctly on the first try.

Security 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.

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.
