What Openapi does

Openapi SpA is an Italian-headquartered (Rome, with R&D in Terni) API marketplace operator founded in 2013 that aggregates 400+ certified API services spanning business information, person data, real estate, automotive, finance, electronic invoicing, certified email (REM/PEC), postal services, SMS, identity verification, and AI-based document search. Its technical core is a unified REST API layer that wraps official Italian and European government data sources (Chamber of Commerce, Revenue Agency cadastral and mortgage registries, Bank of Italy Central Credit Register, ISTAT) under ISO 25012:2014 certified data quality, with codeless integrations into HubSpot, Odoo, Salesforce AppExchange, Automyo, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP), plus SDKs in 13+ programming languages and a Postman/GitHub developer footprint. The platform runs on Google Cloud infrastructure with PCI-DSS Level 1, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, and SOC 1/2 Type II certifications, and Openapi itself holds postal operator, TULPS public security, NIS2, and NATO-level security authorizations that together license it to act as a regulated data intermediary.

The company operates a usage-based, pay-as-you-go revenue model with no annual fees, supplemented by premium technical-support packages (€140–€1,000 per block) and marketplace commissions; pricing per API call ranges from €0.0008 for basic email verification to €130 for premium Italian reports. Go-to-market combines a self-serve developer console at console.openapi.com, a certified partner program for software houses and system integrators, embedded CRM/automation distribution, and event-driven marketing across VivaTech, WeAreDevelopers, WMF, and Codemotion. In 2025 the platform processed 309M+ API requests for 125,000+ recurring customers across banking, insurance, ecommerce, retail, real estate, telco, and software-IT segments, with named enterprise users including Credit Agricole, PwC, IBM, Accenture, Deliveroo, NTT Data, and Coop. Openapi is privately held as a single-member company under Open Holding Srl, became a joint-stock company in 2023, and in June 2026 acquired a strategic minority stake in Rox Pay to extend into payments and Open Banking.
