Honorlock

Honorlock is an online exam proctoring and academic integrity platform for higher education and professional certification. Its primary integration path is LTI 1.3, installed natively into LMS platforms - Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, D2L Brightspace, Open LMS, Docebo, and Intellum - plus publisher platforms such as Pearson, McGraw Hill, and ALEKS via LMS workflows. For assessment platforms that need to embed proctoring outside an LMS, Honorlock offers a partner developer toolkit ("APIs and Elements") documented at docs.honorlock.com - a REST API for provisioning users, courses, exams, authentication tokens, and exam sessions, plus a browser-based Elements/Integration SDK that drives the exam-taker experience (extension verification, session setup, begin/end session). The developer program is sales-gated (contact-sales onboarding); Honorlock does not publish a self-service API key flow, an OpenAPI description, or a public base URL.

Honorlock is listed with 6 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Proctoring, Online Proctoring, Academic Integrity, Assessment, and EdTech.

Honorlock’s developer surface includes engineering blog, documentation, and 7 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Education & Research 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):

Machine-Readable Contract +18 pts — api_specs includes an OpenAPI document Ask about this →
MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship Ask about this →
Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author Ask about this →
Machine-Readable Auth +10 pts — a served openid-configuration/oauth-authorization-server carrying `issuer` (served), else the securitySchemes class in the provider OpenAPIs — bound (mutualTLS, DPoP, Signature) > negotiable (oauth2 authorizationCode/clientCredentials, openIdConnect) > bearer (http bearer, apiKey) Ask about this →
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) Ask about this →
