Scrive

Scrive is a Nordic e-signature and digital identity (e-ID) platform for agreeing, signing, and verifying documents online. The Scrive Document API (eSign Online, Version 2) is a RESTful, JSON-over-HTTPS interface that creates, prepares, sends, and manages the full lifecycle of documents for electronic signing, with identity verification through Nordic and European e-ID methods including Swedish, Norwegian, and Finnish BankID, Danish MitID, Freja, and Smart-ID. Authentication uses OAuth2, OAuth 1.0, or personal access credentials; document status changes are delivered to consumers via HTTP callback (webhook) URLs. A separate Scrive eID Hub provides standalone identity authentication and signing.

Scrive publishes 8 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Access Control API, Attachments API, Callbacks API, and 5 more. Tagged areas include E-Signature, Digital Identity, eID, BankID, and MitID.

The Scrive catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Scrive’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, and 10 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 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.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

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.

Standards implemented 4

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
