Ricoh USA is the United States operating company of Ricoh Co., Ltd. — a global imaging, printing, document services, and workplace technology vendor. Beyond its printer / MFP and managed document services portfolio, Ricoh exposes developer surfaces under three umbrellas: (1) Ricoh Smart Integration, a cloud workflow platform that connects MFPs to cloud storage and processing services; (2) RICOH360, a developer platform with a Cloud API for managing 360-degree spatial imagery; and (3) the open RICOH THETA Web / Bluetooth / USB APIs that control THETA 360 cameras directly. The THETA APIs and SDKs are published openly on GitHub; Ricoh360 Cloud API access is gated behind application approval; the older Ricoh Smart Integration developer endpoints (smartintegrationapi.com / api.smartintegrationapi.com) are not currently publicly reachable.
