Basis Theory publishes 23 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Applications API, Logs API, Reactors API, and 20 more. Tagged areas include Tokenization, Data Vault, PCI Compliance, Payments, and Security.
The Basis Theory catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
Basis Theory’s developer surface includes pricing, signup flow, authentication, documentation, engineering blog, and 15 more developer resources.

Kin Score
Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
| Market | Position | Depth | Registered MCP server | Declares compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stripe App Marketplace and Partner Ecosystem (builders on Stripe) | builds-on | 51.7 | - | - |
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
Standards implemented 1
Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
