aid: venueauthority name: Venue Authority description: >- Venue Authority is a self-serve facility verification and monitoring API for payment facilitators, marketplaces, KYB providers and restaurant platforms working with food-service businesses. It matches a business name and street address to a supported regulator facility record, returns source-linked evidence for that match, and supports ongoing portfolio monitoring so a change at the regulator surfaces after onboarding rather than at the next manual review. The public contract is an OpenAPI 3.1 document of 12 paths and 15 operations, authenticated with a bearer API key, and the provider tags every operation into five groups — resolution and evidence, coverage, watchlists, webhooks and audit exports — which is how it is carried here as five per-resource documents. Coverage is enumerated by the API itself rather than described in prose, and the provider publishes an APIs.json, llms.txt, llms-full.txt, a Postman collection and a machine-readable error catalogue alongside the contract, plus MIT-licensed Node.js, Python and MCP client packages released on GitHub with checksummed build artifacts. type: Index image: https://venueauthority.com/venue-authority-mark.svg url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/venueauthority/refs/heads/main/apis.yml created: '2026-08-21' modified: '2026-08-21' specificationVersion: '0.23' tags: -

FN: Venue Authority url: https://venueauthority.com x-provenance: added: '2026-08-21' method: searched source: https://github.com/api-search/inbox/issues/12 note: >- Submitted by the provider on the api-search/inbox issue tracker with a complete artifact list. Every declared URL was fetched and confirmed 2xx before being recorded here, against a control probe of two invented paths that returned real 404s, so the 200s are genuine routes and not a catch-all. The live API was exercised anonymously: /api/v1/coverage returned real regulator records, /api/v1/resolve returned 405 (it is POST-only) and /api/v1/facilities/{id} returned 401. Nothing in this record is derived or modelled. x-evidence: amended: '2026-08-21' source: https://github.com/api-search/inbox/issues/12 note: >- The provider reported two changes on the original issue and both were re-verified live before anything here moved. FIRST, the contract is now tagged: the published OpenAPI declares five tags and all fifteen operations carry one, where the version harvested on 2026-08-21 declared none. Diffed against the archived original, the operation set is byte-identical — same 12 paths, same 15 operationIds, nothing added, removed or renamed — so the change is purely additive and the single document was re-split into five per-resource documents with 1.00x duplication and zero dangling references. The pre-tag upstream is kept at openapi/_original/venueauthority-openapi-2026-08-21-untagged.json. SECOND, the client packages exist: packages/node-sdk, packages/python-sdk and packages/mcp-server are present in the repository, each carrying its own MIT LICENSE, and release clients-v0.1.0 publishes four build artifacts whose SHA-256 digests are computed by GitHub rather than supplied by the provider. The MCP package's declared dependencies resolve on npm at the pinned versions. npm and PyPI return 404 for these package names, which matches the provider's own statement that no registry-availability claim is being made; no registry pointer is recorded here. Every URL added to common[] was fetched against a control probe of four plausible-but-absent paths (/openapi.yaml, /sdk, /docs/changelog.json, /.well-known/security.txt) that all returned real 404s, so the 200s are genuine routes. not_recorded: - >- The provider's apis.json declares maintainers[0].organizationName "Zupa Print", which does not match any other Venue Authority surface. Left out of maintainers here pending confirmation from the provider rather than recorded as the operating entity. - >- https://venueauthority.com/.well-known/apis.json returns 404. The apis.json copy held under well-known/ in this repo is a harvest of https://venueauthority.com/apis.json, not evidence of a .well-known catalog, and is not scored as one.
