Kiute was a French salon management and online booking platform for hair salons, barbershops and beauty institutes, formed from the September 2020 merger of Flexy (FlexyBeauty) and LeCiseau, backed by Serena, Newfund, Matmut Innovation, 123IM, UL Invest and Bourrelier Group. Its Kiute Pro product combined a point-of-sale till, appointment calendar, client records, marketing and an online booking marketplace serving roughly 10,000 beauty and wellness businesses. Booksy acquired Kiute on 2021-11-09 and has since retired the brand: as of 2026-08-17 every Kiute host answers a blanket HTTP 301 to Booksy for every path — kiute.com, www.kiute.com, app.kiute.com and kiute.fr to https://booksy.com/fr-fr/, pro.kiute.com to https://biz.booksy.com/fr-fr — and no api, docs, developers or help subdomain resolves. Kiute publishes no API, no specification and no developer program of its own; the successor surface is the Booksy Public API, profiled separately in this network at all/booksy/ and documented at docs.booksy.com.
Kiute is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Marketplace, Beauty, Salons, and Booking.
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/kiute: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
