This is not our API. This repository is an independent, third-party profile of a company's publicly available API surface, maintained by API Evangelist. API Evangelist does not operate, host, resell, or support this company's APIs, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated on the profile.
Where the information came from. Everything here is assembled from material a member of the public can reach with a browser and no credentials — the company's own website, developer portal and documentation, the specifications it publishes for public use (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, JSON Schema,
apis.json,llms.txtand similar), its public repositories, and its public status, pricing and changelog pages. Nothing here is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials of any kind.The rating is an independent assessment. The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated scores of a company's public API artifacts, produced by API Evangelist against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits, and they score published artifacts — not the quality, safety, or security of the software.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free. No partnership, contract, or purchase is required, and you do not need to justify the request.
- Something wrong? Open an issue on this repository, or email info@apievangelist.com.
- Published something new? Ask for a re-score and we will re-run the rating.
- Want the listing taken down? Say so and we will honor it. The profile is reduced to your company name, a factual description, and a link to your own site, and the company is recorded as unrated — never scored zero for having asked.
Response times. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal or restriction within two business days; corrections and re-scores within five business days.
On a security or compliance team? Email info@apievangelist.com with security in the subject line and you will get a person, not a form. We will tell you exactly which public URLs this profile was built from so your team can see the same surface we did, and we will take the listing down on request while you work through it.
Full detail: Where this data comes from
HEDNA (Hotel Electronic Distribution Network Association) is a not-for-profit trade association founded in 1991 and headquartered in Forest Hill, Maryland, United States, that convenes the hotel distribution industry — hotel chains, GDS operators, OTAs, switches, channel managers, payment providers and connectivity vendors — around shared best practice for hospitality electronic distribution. It sits alongside rather than inside the distribution chain: it moves no inventory and processes no bookings, but its Disciplines (Connectivity, Content Distribution, Payments, Data & Analytics, Revenue Optimization) produce recommendation documents, and it co-authored the Open Payments Alliance Standards Specification with HTNG and OpenTravel. HEDNA publishes no developer portal, no API, and no machine-readable specification on hedna.org; every probe of developer./developers./docs./api. subdomains and of /developers, /api, /docs, /openapi.json, /swagger.json, /api-docs and /.well-known/ failed (DNS failure or HTTP 404). Its publications library, research reports and HEDNA U courseware are gated behind paid membership at members.hedna.org (HTTP 403 Cloudflare challenge unauthenticated) and pathlms.com/hedna. Honest posture: member-gated documents, no public API, no exit path published.

No public APIs are published by HEDNA. As a trade association it publishes prose recommendations and member-gated research rather than a developer surface. See review.yml for the full probe record, including the incidental WordPress REST API at https://www.hedna.org/wp-json/ that was confirmed live but deliberately not listed as a HEDNA API offering.
- Interface shape: none-published — no API contract of any kind.
- Second source: alternatives-with-migration — OpenTravel Alliance, AHLA, HSMAI and Phocuswright cover adjacent ground; HTNG, the closest peer, no longer resolves independently.
- Exit path: no-export-published — access/correct/delete on request in the privacy policy, no portability or export commitment.
- Identifier portability: HEDNA issues no industry identifiers; its guidance sits over GDS chain and property codes minted by others. Only an opaque YourMembership member record is HEDNA-controlled.
- Contractual lock-in: published annual dues $50–$1,950 across seven categories; no minimum term, exclusivity or termination notice published.
- Access gate: none-published for developers; paid annual membership (plus Board approval for three categories) for the document library.
- Distribution model: not-applicable. NDC posture: not applicable — NDC is an air standard, HEDNA's remit is hotels.
- llms/hedna-llms.txt — generated llms.txt, written mainly as a negative signal so agents do not hallucinate a HEDNA API.
- security/hedna-domain-security.yml — probed TLS/HSTS/DNSSEC/CAA/SPF/DMARC posture (TLSv1.3, SPF present; no HSTS, DNSSEC, CAA or DMARC).
- well-known/hedna-well-known.yml — recorded absence: every
/.well-known/path returns 404. Deliberately not wired as aWellKnownpointer, because there is nothing to point at.
No openapi/, asyncapi/, mcp/, skills/, scopes/, authentication/, errors/, lifecycle/, conventions/, sandbox/, cli/ or components/ artifacts exist here — each requires an API contract HEDNA does not publish. See review.yml enrichment: for the round-2 probe record.
