Ring

Ring is an Amazon home-security company (doorbells, cameras, alarm systems, and the Ring Protect subscription) that in 2026 launched the Ring Developer platform and Ring Appstore. Third-party developers can build video-powered apps against the Ring Partner API — a REST API served from api.amazonvision.com (Amazon Vision API / AVA) that follows the JSON:API format and is secured with OAuth 2.0 one-way account linking. The API exposes device discovery, device status/capabilities/location/configurations, event history, WebRTC/WHEP live video, media clip and image downloads, subscription queries, and a webhook event surface (motion, button press, device online/offline, subscription changes). Ring also publishes a remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server backed by an Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base so AI coding assistants can query the documentation while building integrations, and publishes a HackerOne bug-bounty via a /.well-known/security.txt.

Ring is listed with 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Home Security, Smart Home, IoT, and Video.

The Ring catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Ring’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, authentication, changelog, support, engineering blog, and 23 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 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/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Rate-Limit Signaling +7 pts — OpenAPI responses document X-RateLimit-* / RateLimit headers (verified), else a rate_limits artifact or RateLimits link (documented)
Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document
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)

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.

Markets this provider is in provisional

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.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
IoT and Smart Home	mixed	41.0	-	-
ONVIF Video Analytics (video surveillance, edge cameras, computer vision)	mixed	41.0	-	-
Wireless and Wired Connectivity Certification (Thread, USB-IF, Wi-Fi Alliance)	mixed	41.0	-	-
Raycast Store Extensions (first-party publishers + community-wrapped products)	mixed	41.0	-	-
IFTTT Services (service publishers)	mixed	41.0	-	-

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.
