Semaphore

Semaphore is a cloud-based CI/CD platform designed for high-performance engineering teams, providing fast and reliable continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines. The platform offers a comprehensive REST API that enables programmatic management of pipelines, workflows, jobs, secrets, projects, and deployment targets for software delivery automation. Semaphore supports OAS 3.0-compliant API definitions with Swagger documentation, covering resources such as artifacts, test results, self-hosted agents, and build insights. Teams can use the API to integrate with external tools, build custom interfaces, trigger promotions, and automate their entire software delivery lifecycle.

Semaphore publishes 11 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Dashboards API, DeploymentTargets API, Notifications API, and 8 more. Tagged areas include CI/CD, Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, Pipelines, and Workflows.

The Semaphore catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Semaphore’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, pricing, and 14 more developer resources.

Kin Score

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-11-13 · rubric v0.28.0
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/.
