Skimmer
Skimmer is pool-service business management software (customers, bodies of water, service stops and routes, work orders, quotes, invoices, and billing) used by residential and commercial pool-service companies. Skimmer exposes a real, documented public REST API at https://publicapi.getskimmer.com, with a Zudoku-based developer portal at https://devportal.getskimmer.com. The API is enterprise-oriented and access is sales-led - it is available only on Skimmer's top ("Owning the Market" / Enterprise) tier and provisioned through Skimmer's sales team rather than self-service signup. Authentication is via a per-account skimmer-api-key request header, and the API is rate limited to 500 requests per minute per key.
Skimmer publishes 9 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Bodies of Water API, Customers API, Invoices API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include Pool Service, Field Service Management, Pool Maintenance, Scheduling, and Routes.
The Skimmer catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
Skimmer’s developer surface includes engineering blog, authentication, documentation, API reference, signup flow, and 8 more developer resources.

Kin Score
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Field Service, Home Services and Trades | undeclared | - | - | - |
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.
