ButterflyMX

ButterflyMX is a property-access technology company whose smart video intercoms, keypads, smart locks, elevator controls, vehicle-access readers, package rooms and front-desk stations are installed in more than 20,000 multifamily, commercial, gated-community, student-housing and senior-living buildings. Its public ButterflyMX API (v4) exposes the same access-control core to partners and property-technology platforms: buildings, units, tenants, access points, devices, access groups, permanent access tools (PINs and RFID tags), keychains and virtual keys for visitor passes, door-release requests for programmatic swipe-to-open, and access and video-call logs. Real-time delivery is handled by building- and tenant-scoped webhook integrations, and native iOS and Android SDKs add in-app video-call handling on top of the REST surface. Authorization is OAuth 2.0 authorization-code, issued by an OpenID-Connect-discoverable authorization server at accounts.butterflymx.com, with a full sandbox replica for pre-production testing.

ButterflyMX publishes 14 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Access groups API, Access Logs API, Access Points API, and 11 more. Tagged areas include Access Control, physical-access, smart-intercom, PropTech, and Property Management.

The ButterflyMX catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

ButterflyMX’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, changelog, and 29 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Rate-Limit Signaling +7 pts — OpenAPI responses document X-RateLimit-* / RateLimit headers (verified), else a rate_limits artifact or RateLimits link (documented)
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document

6 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/butterflymx/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/butterflymx to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.
