SmartSimple Software builds SmartSimple Cloud, a configurable cloud platform for grants management, research and government funding administration, corporate social responsibility (CSR), scholarships, and case management. The platform exposes three documented programmatic interfaces on each client instance - SmartConnect (a JSON-based RESTful API), an OData reporting API, and a legacy SOAP Web Services API - covering records (UTA Level 1/2/3), users, organizations, transactions, custom fields, and files. Access is instance-scoped - every customer runs on their own alias.smartsimple.com tenant and provisions an API user account or access token, so the documented endpoints are modeled against a customer instance rather than a single public gateway.
SmartSimple publishes 7 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Grants Management, Research Administration, CSR, Funding, and Case Management.
SmartSimple’s developer surface includes documentation, pricing, and 8 more developer resources.
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.
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. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/smartsimple: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
