Tripadvisor, Inc.
Vertical: Travel & Expense (specifically: travel reviews and travel-guidance content + location/POI data + experiences distribution). The B2C target market is global leisure travelers researching where to stay, eat, and what to do. Consumer travel research: hotel/restaurant/attraction discovery, review reading, photo browsing, booking handoff to OTAs and direct suppliers.
High on the consumer/brand side, modest on the developer-API side. Tripadvisor is one of the top travel sites on the open web by traffic and review volume, and the Tripadvisor 'Owl' rating badge is one of the most-recognized trust marks in travel.

Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
