Formality

Formality is a Paris-based AI platform for end-to-end asset and contract intelligence, aimed at businesses that need to centralize, understand, and track their legal, administrative, and asset-related documents. The product covers the full contract lifecycle: AI-assisted creation and collaborative negotiation, electronic signature, then post-signature data extraction, deadline and obligation alerts, and natural-language analysis of the resulting document estate. Its AI is trained on corporate legal documents, works across multiple languages, and runs inside a secure perimeter with full auditability and no use of customer data for model training. Formality integrates with tools including Google Drive, SharePoint, DocuWare, Docusign, Universign, Yousign, HubSpot, Salesforce, Outlook, Teams, Slack, and Gmail, and runs on compliant hosting with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certifications and GDPR compliance. It was founded in 2023 and is backed by Partech, Serena, and Bpifrance.

Formality publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Ai Ml, Legal, Contract Management, and Document-Management.

The Formality catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Formality’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, authentication, and 25 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
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/formality: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  description: 'The Formality REST API exposes the workspace contract repository so external tools and AI agents can retrieve
    documents and the AI-extracted metadata layer. Every path is namespaced to a workspace — /api/v1/{workspaceId}/ — and
    the documented resources cover agreements and agreement fields, with the help centre describing coverage of agreements,
    counterparties and related entities. Access uses a two-step bearer flow: an administrator mints a long-lived personal
    Refresh Token in Personal Settings > Formality API, then exchanges it at GET /api/v1/token for a 5-minute access token
    used as Authorization: Bearer on subsequent calls. A Swagger UI is published at /-/api-doc-swagger but is reachable only
    after authenticating.'

    (EU/Ireland) and app.fr1.formality.com (France/Scaleway); both answer /api/v1/... with HTTP 401 rather than 404, so the
    EU host is recorded here and the documented generic host is flagged as a provider-side documentation defect.

x-mcp-note: No type:MCPServer pointer is emitted even though Formality's homepage advertises "Secure connection via API/MCP"

  note: Round 2 overturned round 1's "no public REST API" finding. A documented Formality REST API (v1, bearer token exchange,
    workspace-scoped) was found via the GitBook help centre's own llms.txt index, and three dead apis.yml pointers were repaired.
