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.

APIs

Volt exposes an API-native developer surface at docs.volt.io, with a single production gateway host https://gateway.volt.io (sandbox https://gateway.sandbox.volt.io) and OAuth2 authentication. The documented product API family:

Volt Payments API

Global Payments API that initiates account-to-account (pay by bank) payments across open-banking and real-time schemes (UK Faster Payments, SEPA, Pix, PayTo and more), creating payments, retrieving status, and handling refunds.

Volt Mandates API

Manages recurring account-to-account payments including variable recurring payments (VRP) and mandate lifecycle.

Volt Accounts API

Powers Volt Accounts and virtual IBANs for settlement, collections, payouts and refunds — programmatic named accounts for receiving and disbursing funds.

Volt Verify API

Account Identification API that confirms bank account ownership/details before payment (confirmation-of-payee style checks).

Volt Reporting API

The Reporter API exposes transaction, settlement and reconciliation data across the Volt platform.

Volt Authentication API

Issues OAuth2 access tokens for the gateway. A POST to /oauth exchanges client_id, client_secret and username/password (resource-owner password grant) for a Bearer access_token.

API Posture

  • Developer portal: confirmed live — volt.io/developers and docs.volt.io (both HTTP 200).
  • OpenAPI: the API reference is OpenAPI-backed (custom Next.js, rendered server-side) but no downloadable OpenAPI/Swagger document is served at a fetchable URL — 0 specs harvested.
  • Auth: OAuth2 resource-owner password grant → Bearer tokens.
  • Webhooks: documented for asynchronous payment/account events.
  • Home market: United Kingdom (FCA-authorised).
