  Hopper Inc. is a Montreal-based online travel agency and B2B travel fintech
  company, founded in 2007 by Frederic Lalonde, Joost Ouwerkerk, and Dakota
  Smith. Its consumer mobile app pairs flight, hotel, car, and homes booking
  with proprietary price prediction, and monetizes a family of "for any reason"
  fintech ancillaries — Price Freeze, Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR), Change For
  Any Reason, and Disruption Guarantee. Through Hopper Technology Solutions
  (HTS), the company licenses those same ancillaries, agentic AI customer
  servicing (HTS Assist), white-label travel commerce (HTS Stays, HTS Cars, HTS
  Packages), and loyalty portals to airlines, banks, and travel providers
  including Capital One, Air Canada, Wizz Air, Porter, Avelo, and RBC. Hopper
  has raised more than $740 million from investors including Goldman Sachs,
  Brookfield, Citigroup, and Caisse de Depot et Placement du Quebec, and its
  shares trade on secondary marketplaces such as Forge Global and EquityZen
  ahead of a possible public listing.

  This repo was created from the secondary-market harvest backlog against the
  Forge Global private-stock listing for "Hopper". Verified during the
  2026-08-01 enrichment pass: that listing is Hopper Inc., the Montreal travel
  app and HTS parent — the SAME company already profiled at all/hopper-com
  (5 harvested HTS Airline API OpenAPIs, authentication, agentic-access,
  domain-security, blogs, screenshots) and again at all/hopper-travel (plans,
  rate-limits, finops, blogs). No parallel artifact tree was generated here on
  purpose: a third profile would split one company across three apis.io pages
  and three Kin Scores. Per the duplicate-provider-retirement procedure, the
  survivor by depth is hopper-com; this slug should be merged into it and
  tombstoned in api-search/network/_data/retired.yml rather than enriched.

  note: >-
    STEP 0b contract discovery run against hts.hopper.com, www.hopper.com,
    hopper.com, airlines-api.hopper.com, api.hopper.com, and
    developer.hopper.com. Every /.well-known/* path (agent-card.json,
    agent.json, security.txt, openid-configuration, oauth-authorization-server,
    oauth-protected-resource, api-catalog, ai-plugin.json), /llms.txt, and every
    spec path (/openapi.json, /openapi.yaml, /swagger.json, /api-docs) MISSED.
    www.hopper.com and hts.hopper.com are single-page-app catch-alls that answer
    HTTP 200 with an HTML shell for ANY path — a nonsense control path returns a
    byte-identical body — so those 200s were correctly rejected as false
    positives per the pipeline contract. airlines-api.hopper.com returns 404 at
    root and at /openapi.json. No agent card, no llms.txt, no security.txt, and
    no self-hosted machine-readable contract exists on any Hopper host.
  results:
  - {host: hts.hopper.com, agent_card: none, llms_txt: none, security_txt: none, openapi: none, note: spa-catch-all-200}
  - {host: www.hopper.com, agent_card: none, llms_txt: none, security_txt: none, openapi: none, note: spa-catch-all-200}
  - {host: airlines-api.hopper.com, agent_card: none, llms_txt: none, security_txt: none, openapi: none, note: http-404}
