HomeAway *

HomeAway was an Austin, Texas vacation-rental marketplace that connected travelers with owners and property managers of holiday homes, cabins, condos, and beach houses worldwide. It published a first-party HomeAway API (OAuth 2.0) for listing management, availability and booking synchronization, pricing, and guest communication, along with a Ruby SDK and the hacurl command-line tool from its GitHub organization. HomeAway was acquired by Expedia Group in 2015 and the brand was retired into Vrbo: homeaway.com now redirects to Vrbo and the developer platform is no longer maintained. This profile captures the genuine historical first-party API surface (SDK, CLI, OAuth auth model) that remains publicly available.

HomeAway * is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Consumer, Vacation Rentals, Travel, and Hospitality.

HomeAway *’s developer surface includes authentication, CLI, and 10 more developer resources.

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.

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 github.com/api-evangelist/homeaway: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
