Kin Score

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-10-17 · rubric v0.24.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the AI & Biometrics 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/.
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/oosto: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

- name: Oosto OnWatch API
  description: Per-deployment REST API and Socket.IO event stream for Oosto OnWatch, the real-time watchlist alerting and
    person-of-interest monitoring product. Served from the customer's own OnWatch server under the /bt/api base path (the
    product's internal codename is "Better Tomorrow"). Authentication is username/password exchanged for a bearer JWT at POST
    /bt/api/login, with an end-user licence acknowledgement step at POST /bt/api/eula. Administrative resources such as roles
    are read over REST with offset/limit/sortOrder paging, and detection events are consumed by connecting a Socket.IO client
    to the /bt/api/socket.io path with the token supplied as a query parameter, receiving track:created events as subjects
    are matched. There is no vendor-hosted multi-tenant base URL — every deployment resolves to the customer's own server
    IP or DNS name, so no public baseURL is recorded here. The reference documentation is behind an OTP login at knowledge.oosto.com;
    the operations recorded in this profile are taken from the vendor's own public sample code on GitHub.

  description: Per-deployment REST API for Oosto OnAccess, the facial access-control product (internal codename "Abraxas"),
    served from the customer's own OnAccess server under the /abx/api base path. Authentication is username/password exchanged
    for a bearer JWT at POST /abx/api/login. The enrolment flow published in the vendor's sample code posts an image as multipart/form-data
    to POST /abx/api/external-functions/extract-faces-from-image to extract face feature vectors, then creates the person
    record with POST /abx/api/members, carrying the extracted image features plus identity fields (name, email, phone, description),
    access-card credentials (card id + facility code) and member-group membership by UUID. As with OnWatch there is no vendor-hosted
    base URL — the API ships with the customer's installation. Reference documentation is behind an OTP login at knowledge.oosto.com;
    operations recorded here come from the vendor's public sample code.
