Zip

Zip is an AI-powered procurement orchestration platform that provides a REST API for managing the full intake-to-pay lifecycle. The API enables developers to build custom integrations that extract, create, and update procurement data including intake requests, vendor onboarding, approval workflows, and contract management. Authentication is handled via API keys passed as Basic Auth credentials, with separate sandbox and production environments available. Zip's platform serves enterprise customers by creating a single front door for all corporate purchase requests and routing them through configurable approval chains before connecting to ERPs and financial systems. The API supports webhook callbacks for async event notifications when procurement workflows complete, enabling deep integration with existing enterprise toolchains.

Zip publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network: Procurement API. Tagged areas include Procurement, Spend Management, Intake to Pay, Approval Workflows, and Vendor Management.

The Zip catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context.

Zip’s developer surface includes documentation, engineering blog, pricing, and 12 more developer resources.
