Latchkey Jobs API

Managed ephemeral GitHub Actions runners that repair failing builds mid-run. The Jobs API gives coding agents and CI systems direct access to a fresh Ubuntu 24.04 x86_64 runner that runs one command and is then destroyed, with a hosted MCP server, CLI, and llms.txt for agent-native access.

Latchkey Jobs API publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network: Latchkey Jobs API. Tagged areas include CI/CD, DevOps, GitHub Actions, Ephemeral Compute, and Build & Test Infrastructure.

Latchkey Jobs API’s developer surface includes authentication, CLI, documentation, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, and 21 more developer resources.

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.
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/latchkey: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
