Centrapay

Centrapay is a payments network that connects existing commerce systems (point-of-sale terminals and checkouts) to digital wallets, tokens and low-cost alternative payments. Its API-first infrastructure lets merchants accept Payap, bank transfers via Open Banking and QR-code rails, brand loyalty points and digital gift cards, bypassing traditional card-network fees. Developers integrate through the Centrapay REST API documented at docs.centrapay.com.

Centrapay publishes 1 API contract indexed on the APIs.io network: Payment Requests API. Tagged areas include Company, Payments, Digital Wallet, Open Banking, and QR Code Payments.

The Centrapay catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Centrapay’s developer surface includes sandbox, authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, and 28 more developer resources.

scored 2026-10-31 · rubric v0.25.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Payments 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.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
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/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
  • MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
  • A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
  • Delegated User Identity +6 pts — a served discovery document listing authorization_code in grant_types_supported (served), else an oauth2 authorizationCode flow or openIdConnect declared in an OpenAPI (documented)
  • Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document
  • Typed Event Surface +6 pts — AsyncAPI document, OR webhooks/callbacks objects in the as-published OpenAPI, OR common[].type includes Webhooks
  • Documented Reversibility +6 pts — a reversal operation in the contract, graded up when a window is documented too

Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):
Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/centrapay/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/centrapay to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.
