Kibana is an open-source data visualization and exploration tool used for log and time-series analytics, application monitoring, and operational intelligence. Kibana provides histograms, line graphs, pie charts, heat maps, geospatial visualizations, dashboards, alerting, and management of saved objects across spaces, exposing a comprehensive REST API for programmatic configuration and automation.
Kibana publishes 60 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Actions API, agent builder API, Alerting API, and 57 more. Tagged areas include Alerting, Analytics, Dashboards, Elastic Stack, and Logging.
The Kibana catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
Kibana’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, GitHub presence, engineering blog, pricing, support, and 15 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 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 →
Delegated User Identity+6 pts — a served discovery document listing authorization_code in grant_types_supported (served), else an oauth2 authorizationCode flow or openIdConnect declared in an OpenAPI (documented) Ask about this →
Typed Event Surface+6 pts — AsyncAPI document, OR webhooks/callbacks objects in the as-published OpenAPI, OR common[].type includes Webhooks Ask about this →
6 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.
Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):
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.
Not sure how this applies to your stack? Ask about any one item. Kin Lane reads every question, looks at your profile and your situation, and replies with what a fix would take — scoped to that one area, priced up front, yours whether you ship it or not. Ask a question →
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.
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 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.

to the MITRE ATT&CK matrix, and which threat actor might be responsible.

description: 'Use the detections APIs to create and manage detection rules. Detection rules search events and external alerts
sent to Elastic Security and generate detection alerts from any hits. Alerts are displayed on the **Alerts** page and
can be assigned and triaged, using the alert status to mark them as open, closed, or acknowledged.
This API supports both key-based authentication and basic authentication.
To use key-based authentication, create an API key, then specify the key in the header of your API calls.
To use basic authentication, provide a username and password; this automatically creates an API key that matches the current
user’s privileges.
In both cases, the API key is subsequently used for authorization when the rule runs.
> warn
> If the API key used for authorization has different privileges than the key that created or most recently updated a
rule, the rule behavior might change.
> If the API key that created a rule is deleted, or the user that created the rule becomes inactive, the rule will stop
running.
To create and run rules, the user must meet specific requirements for the Kibana space. Refer to the [Detections requirements](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/security/current/detections-permissions-section.html)
for a complete list of requirements.'
