Embed your Kin Score

Put the K'in sun on your own site. It reads live from the APIs.io catalog, so it updates itself every time you are re-scored — you paste the snippet once.

The three shapes

Shape	URL	Use it for
Sun	`/badge/{slug}.svg`	A sidebar, a footer, a trust strip. The mark on its own.
Card	`/badge/{slug}/card.svg`	Both scores plus your name, when the badge has to explain itself.
Flat	`/badge/{slug}/flat.svg`	A README, next to your build and coverage badges.

Get your snippet

Every scored provider has a builder page. Replace the slug, or find yourself from the provider directory:

Parameters

Name	Values	Default
`theme`	`auto`, `light`, `dark`	`auto`	Auto follows the visitor's own light/dark setting — the badge ships both and switches with a media query.
`size`	48–512	`150`	Sun only. Below 96 the number and band label drop and the sun becomes a silhouette, by design.
`width`	280–600	`340`	Card only.

Data, not just pictures

Endpoint	Returns
`/badge/{slug}.json`	The full score — composite, band, all six facets, all fourteen agent-readiness dimensions, trend — plus every snippet, ready to paste. CORS open.
`/badge/{slug}/shields.json`	A shields.io endpoint, if your README is already standardised on shields.

How fresh is it

Badges are cached at the edge for an hour and revalidate in the background, so a re-score reaches every embed within about an hour with no work from you. Scores themselves are recomputed as the catalog is re-enriched — the badge always shows the current one, including when it goes down. That is the deal: it is a rating, not a logo.

There is no registration and no key. The score is already public on your provider page; the badge is the same fact in a different shape. Anyone can embed anyone's badge, which is also why it says who computed it.

The Kin Score is the API Evangelist rating — a public, versioned, machine-checkable readiness score. The rubric is documented at api-evangelist/kin-score and every input is a signal a provider chose to publish or chose to leave out.
