Palenca (Vech)

Palenca is a Latin American income and employment verification API (headquartered in Mexico, backed by 500 Global). Through a single REST API and an embeddable Widget, workers securely connect their gig-economy platform (Uber, Rappi, DiDi, inDriver, iFood, PedidosYa) and formal-economy sources (IMSS, ISSSTE, CDT/Carteira de Trabalho) to share verified income, earnings, employment history, and account data with fintechs, banks, and lenders. Palenca serves Mexico and Brazil, exposes users, accounts, logins, earnings, consents, insights, and webhooks resources, and ships a JS/CDN/ES6 widget and mobile SDKs for end-user account linking.

Palenca (Vech) publishes 7 APIs on the APIs.io network, including admin API, Check Platform Health API, console API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include Company, Income Verification, Employment Verification, Fintech, and Gig Economy.

The Palenca (Vech) catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Palenca (Vech)’s developer surface includes sandbox, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, authentication, engineering blog, support, and 25 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

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/palenca-vech: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
