Buf Schema Registry (public Protocol Buffers modules, gRPC / ConnectRPC schema publishers)
Register market (public protobuf schema publishers on the buf schema registry). The Kin Score Market layer reads each provider in its market: who it integrates with, how deep those integrations go, and where the market publishes its own structure. Methodology.
159providers measured
56 (35.2%)declare their own
45 (28.3%)covered by others only
20 (12.6%)distribution only (sell through, not integrations)
38 (23.9%)undeclared
40declare compatibility (report only, not weighted)
0in-market workflows shown
Provisional. Provisional and unweighted: the Market layer is not part of the composite or agent readiness. Leader lists are read within a position, never as one ranking. A provider that declares nothing we can
read is shown as undeclared, with no number: we never infer integrations.
Where this market publishes its structure
- BSR Connect API ModuleService/ListModules + OwnerService/GetOwners (buf.build, unauthenticated) machine-readable, 7,592 public modules, 1,759 organizations, 2,336 users; 58 providers linked (22 domain, 36 register-name hand reviewed); 101 org domains unheld by the catalog
- buf.build/explore and buf.build/
pages machine-readable, client-rendered view of the same API data; not scraped separately - BSR OrganizationService/ListOrganizations not machine-readable: requires login (unauthenticated -> 'this action requires you to log in'); owners resolved through GetOwners from module owner ids instead
- buf.build/docs/reference machine-readable, API documentation only, not a register
Own = declares at least one integration itself; covered = visible only because an aggregator, standards body, regulator or partner contract names it; distribution-only = listed only on cloud marketplaces it sells through, a channel reported beside, never counted as its own declared integrations; undeclared = nothing we can read, so no number; declares_compatibility = providers with a `compatible` shape vote, report only (kin, 2026-10-13): never counted as own, never in depth or position.
Taxonomy how this market maps onto apis.io
Derived 2026-10-23 from the 159 providers in this market we could resolve in the catalog. The percentage is the share of those providers carrying each one; it describes the market, not the tag or industry. Tag groups have no page of their own yet, so they are listed unlinked.
| Tags | gRPC 58%, Open Source 29% |
|---|---|
| Tag groups | gRPC 65% |
| Industries | Developer Tools & DevOps 49%, Artificial Intelligence 26% |
| Areas | Observability 11% |
share of resolved cohort carrying it; tags >=0.20 & >=3 members (max 12, junk dropped), tag_groups >=0.20 (cooccurrence, non-cross-cutting; max 8), industries >=0.20 (max 6), areas >=0.10 (max 6; areas are keyword-matched and sparse), capabilities L1 >=0.20 (max 8); derive-market-taxonomy.py
Leaders by position (provisional)
Provisional: grouped by position, depth compared within a position only. Distribution (cloud marketplaces) and iPaaS bridges are counted beside position, never inside it. Unknown-builder listings are left out of position shares and counted here.
