Andel

Andel is a cooperative marketplace for drug affordability that unlocks direct manufacturer pricing on high-spend specialty medications, connecting health plans, PBMs, and members without rebates, spreads, or intermediaries across neurology, immunology, dermatology, oncology, fertility, cardiometabolic, and rare/orphan therapeutic areas. Its Data Exchange API provides real-time, RFC 9457-compliant interchange of member purchase events between Andel and counterparty plans or PBMs, with OAuth 2.0 machine-to-machine authentication via Descope, per-plan authorization, cursor pagination, purchase.created webhooks, and Express Scripts (ESI) CDH accumulator-format compatibility.

Andel publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: purchases API and webhooks API. Tagged areas include Company, Healthcare, Pharmacy, Pharmacy Benefits, and Drug Pricing.

The Andel catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Andel’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, signup flow, authentication, and 19 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/andel: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
