Contrast Security

Contrast Security is an application security platform that uses instrumentation-based agents to provide Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST), Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP), and Software Composition Analysis (SCA) across Java, .NET, Node.js, Python, PHP, Go, and Ruby applications. The platform identifies, prioritizes, and defends against vulnerabilities and attacks in real time from inside running applications. Contrast's REST API enables programmatic access to TeamServer applications, libraries, vulnerabilities, and traces, authenticated via API key plus Authorization header (Base64 of username:service_key) and an Organization ID.

Contrast Security publishes 5 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Applications API, Organizations API, Rules API, and 2 more. Tagged areas include Application Security, AppSec, IAST, RASP, and Software Composition Analysis.

The Contrast Security catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification, 1 JSON-LD context, and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Contrast Security’s developer surface includes pricing, changelog, support, getting-started guide, authentication, documentation, engineering blog, and 35 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 does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to upsert.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

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 github.com/api-evangelist/contrast-security: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

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
Software Supply Chain (SBOM, Signing, Open Source Security)	builds-on	42.7	-	-

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.
