Gather

Gather (gather.town) is a video-calling platform that places people in a navigable 2D virtual space, letting multiple groups hold separate conversations in parallel and walk in and out of them as easily as they would in real life. It is used for remote and hybrid offices, conferences, and events. Gather exposes a public HTTP API for programmatically creating spaces and reading/writing the map (room) data of a space, plus managing a space's email guestlist, and a realtime WebSocket "game" API (via the official @gathertown/gather-game-client SDK) for subscribing to player/movement/chat events and driving avatars or bots. API keys are generated at gather.town/apiKeys and require Admin or Builder permission on the target space. Gather was surfaced as a portfolio company of Index Ventures and True Ventures and enriched into the API Evangelist network.

Gather publishes 3 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network: Guestlist API, Maps API, and Spaces API. Tagged areas include Company, Future Of Work, Virtual Office, Video Conferencing, and Collaboration.

Gather’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, and 21 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 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.

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/.

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)
Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link

10 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

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

Contract Quality scores 13.9 — up to +21.5 composite points
Contract Governance scores 0.0 — up to +12.0 composite points
Access Clarity scores 44.7 — up to +11.1 composite points

Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.

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/gather/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/gather to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.

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
Workplace Collaboration App Marketplaces	mixed	40.5	-	-
XR & Graphics (XR, 3D, GPU graphics)	mixed	40.5	-	-
Raycast Store Extensions (first-party publishers + community-wrapped products)	mixed	40.5	-	-

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.
