## Summaries

### 957. Taskrabbit Partner API, E (44.3)

Taskrabbit's Partner API lets approved partners, mostly retailers, estimate, schedule, book, reschedule and cancel fixed-price home services such as assembly and mounting, alongside the Dolly delivery API. Access is granted by Taskrabbit, not self-serve. The Partner API covers the whole booking flow (estimate, availability, bid, book, reschedule, cancel) with OpenAPI 3.1 fragments on every reference page, llms.txt, a sandbox and signed webhooks. Access is the limit. Keys come from a partnership manager, prices are negotiated, no rate limits or SLA are published, and the docs still call the home services API coming soon.

## How we test this category

In this run, public evidence against the published checklist. When the task suites run, one household job posted through each listing's partner API or sandbox, quotes collected and a booking made and cancelled. We check trade and area coverage, quote fields, booking and payment steps, and what access took. This test hasn't run yet, so Task success is pending and the grades here come from the categories assessed from public evidence.
