About this repository

This is not our API. This repository is an independent, third-party profile of a company's publicly available API surface, maintained by API Evangelist. API Evangelist does not operate, host, resell, or support this company's APIs, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated on the profile.

Where the information came from. Everything here is assembled from material a member of the public can reach with a browser and no credentials — the company's own website, developer portal and documentation, the specifications it publishes for public use (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, JSON Schema, apis.json, llms.txt and similar), its public repositories, and its public status, pricing and changelog pages. Nothing here is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials of any kind.

The rating is an independent assessment. The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated scores of a company's public API artifacts, produced by API Evangelist against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits, and they score published artifacts — not the quality, safety, or security of the software.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free. No partnership, contract, or purchase is required, and you do not need to justify the request.

  • Something wrong? Open an issue on this repository, or email info@apievangelist.com.
  • Published something new? Ask for a re-score and we will re-run the rating.
  • Want the listing taken down? Say so and we will honor it. The profile is reduced to your company name, a factual description, and a link to your own site, and the company is recorded as unrated — never scored zero for having asked.

Response times. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal or restriction within two business days; corrections and re-scores within five business days.

On a security or compliance team? Email info@apievangelist.com with security in the subject line and you will get a person, not a form. We will tell you exactly which public URLs this profile was built from so your team can see the same surface we did, and we will take the listing down on request while you work through it.

Open Finance Posture

Canada has no operational open-banking mandate yet — the federal Consumer-Driven Banking framework (Budget 2024 / Fall Economic Statement 2024, overseen by the FCAC) is legislated but not yet live, so access remains voluntary. Interac is one of the core Canadian rails, alongside Payments Canada. It runs the Interac Innovation Hub developer program (innovation.interac.ca). The most openly documented public API surface is the Interac Hub Verification Service, an HTTP identity-verification API built on OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect (Authorization Code Grant with Pushed Authorization Requests), with a self-serve developer sandbox. Full production access and other products (Business Request Money, Interac Direct) are partner-gated behind a commercial relationship with an issuing financial institution. No first-party FDX or 1033-style data-access API is published; the Hub Verification API's public OpenID Connect discovery document is live and machine-readable.

APIs

Interac Hub Verification API

The Interac Hub is an HTTP API that simplifies digital identity verification. Relying parties obtain verified identity data through financial-institution authentication (Interac Verification Service, IVS) and/or government-ID plus biometric selfie checks (Interac Document Verification Service, IDVS). It uses the OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect 1.0 Authorization Code Grant flow with Pushed Authorization Requests, and offers a self-serve developer sandbox.
