Overview

Vendr API Introduction

Introduction

Vendr’s APIs enable you to power software pricing experiences within your applications including websites and AI agents.

Catalog API - The foundation of multi-dimensional price profiles is a structured product catalog derived from thousands of unstructured quotes. The catalog API vends these neatly structured catalog attributes. Use this API to help users understand the breadth of a seller’s products, including add-ons they won’t find anywhere else.

Scope API - Use this API to share the user’s purchase requirement with Vendr. Whether it’s buying 10 licenses of PagerDuty’s Enterprise Tier with 200,000 AIOps events and Live Call Routing, or just uploading a quote document, the Scope API makes it easy to communicate detailed purchasing needs in text or file format.

Pricing API - The Pricing API delivers the power of Vendr’s Pricing AI. By submitting a registered scope ID, you’ll receive actionable pricing insights-including fair price predictions and negotiation guidance-tailored to the user’s requirements.

Webhooks API - The webhooks API helps to create and manage webhook to listen to the status of Vendr’s data processing events.

Please refer to API reference for details of each endpoint.
