Misfit

Misfit is a consumer wearables brand — fitness trackers and smartwatches such as the Misfit Shine, Flash, Ray and Vapor — founded in 2011 by Sonny Vu, John Sculley and Sridhar Iyengar and backed by Norwest Venture Partners, Khosla Ventures, Founders Fund, GGV Capital and Xiaomi before being acquired by Fossil Group in 2015. Misfit ran a developer program (the Misfit Cloud API, Device SDK and Scientific Library) at build.misfit.com with 30+ launch partners. Fossil discontinued the Misfit backend, Cloud API and companion app in spring 2023, so the hosted API and all misfit.com domains are now unreachable. The only surviving developer surface is the official Misfit-Developers GitHub organization and its unmaintained iOS SDKs on CocoaPods.

Misfit is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Wearables, Fitness, Health, and IoT.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health 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.
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/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/.
