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.txtand 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.
Full detail: Where this data comes from
API-First is a software development methodology where APIs are treated as first-class citizens and designed before implementation begins. In an API-first approach, teams establish API contracts as the foundation of architecture, enabling parallel development, reusable services, consistent interfaces, and faster time-to-market. Organizations adopting API-first report 30-40% faster product releases (Gartner 2025) and significantly improved developer experience. The approach is foundational for microservices, headless architectures, and AI agent integrations.

| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| API Contracts | Establish agreed-upon API contracts before coding begins, ensuring all teams align on endpoint names, request/response schemas, error codes, and versioning conventions. |
| Parallel Development | Teams can develop front-end, back-end, and third-party integrations simultaneously using API contracts as the shared reference point. |
| Reusability | APIs designed first become autonomous, reusable services that can be leveraged across multiple products and teams. |
| API Governance | Centralized governance processes including style guides, peer reviews, and validation tooling ensure consistency across the API portfolio. |
| Developer Portal | Internal developer portals provide API inventories, documentation, dashboards, and self-service access enabling developer productivity. |
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Microservices Architecture | Design independent microservices with well-defined API contracts enabling loose coupling and independent deployment. |
| Headless Commerce and CMS | Build headless platforms like Shopify where third-party apps and extensions integrate through well-designed APIs. |
| Fintech Integration | Enable payment integrations and financial service APIs following Stripe's model of simple, well-documented API design. |
| Healthcare Interoperability | Design EHR systems and healthcare APIs API-first for compliance with HL7 FHIR and other interoperability standards. |
| AI Agent Integration | Provide clean, discoverable, semantically-rich APIs that AI agents can autonomously discover and consume without human intervention. |
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| OpenAPI | OpenAPI 3.x is the dominant standard for documenting REST APIs in an API-first workflow, with broad tool support for generation, validation, and mocking. |
| AsyncAPI | AsyncAPI 3.0 provides the standard for documenting event-driven APIs, WebSockets, and message-driven architectures in API-first workflows. |
| CI/CD Pipelines | API contracts are integrated into CI/CD pipelines for automated linting, validation, mock server generation, and contract testing. |
| Developer Portals | Internal developer portals aggregate API inventory, documentation, and governance dashboards as the operational home for API-first organizations. |
