Evolve

Evolve (formerly Evolve Vacation Rental) is a Denver, Colorado hospitality company founded in 2011 that manages more than 30,000 short-term rental properties across the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. It runs a hybrid vacation-rental management model: Evolve handles listing creation, photography, dynamic pricing, marketing, distribution to Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Expedia, Google, Hopper and Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy, guest communication and 24/7 support, while the owner keeps the freedom to choose their own on-the-ground cleaning and service providers. Owners pick a Core, Plus or Pro management plan; guests book directly at evolve.com. Evolve publishes no public developer program, API reference or machine-readable contract — it consumes channel-manager APIs rather than publishing one. Its distribution integration platform is built on AWS (API Gateway, S3, Aurora) with Rentals United as the channel manager.

Evolve is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Travel, Hospitality, Vacation Rentals, and Short-Term Rental.

Evolve’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, pricing, authentication, and 14 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) 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):

Machine-Readable Contract +18 pts — api_specs includes an OpenAPI document
MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
Stable Error Semantics +8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0

11 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

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/evolve-vacation-rental-network/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/evolve-vacation-rental-network to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.

  detail: Evolve ships no developer portal at all, and the two API surfaces that do exist are reachable only with an owner
    credential — a POST introspection query to owner.evolve.com/graphql 307s to /login/idp, and api.evolve.com (an AWS API
    Gateway) answers ForbiddenException on every path including /openapi.json and every /.well-known/ path — so the only anonymous
    machine-readable document on any Evolve host is the Salesforce Experience Cloud OIDC discovery doc at help.evolve.com.
