Samsung SmartThings

Samsung SmartThings is a smart-home IoT platform for connecting, controlling, and automating devices across a home. The SmartThings API is a RESTful interface (base https://api.smartthings.com/v1) that lets integrations control devices, read device status, manage locations, rooms, and modes, build automations with Rules and Scenes, define and inspect capabilities, and build SmartApps that subscribe to events and run schedules. Authentication is via a Personal Access Token (PAT) for testing or OAuth 2.0 for production integrations. SmartThings publishes a real OpenAPI/Swagger definition at swagger.api.smartthings.com/public/st-api.yml. Event delivery is push-based over HTTP webhooks (SmartApp lifecycle callbacks and the Enterprise Eventing API sinks/subscriptions), not a public WebSocket.

Samsung SmartThings publishes 14 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Apps API, Capabilities API, Device Commands & Status API, and 11 more. Tagged areas include Smart Home, IoT, Home Automation, Devices, and Samsung.

The Samsung SmartThings catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Samsung SmartThings’ developer surface includes authentication, documentation, 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/.

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

MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
Stable Error Semantics +8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
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

9 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

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	covered	33.2 (thin)	-	-
Wireless and Wired Connectivity Certification (Thread, USB-IF, Wi-Fi Alliance)	covered	33.2 (thin)	-	-
Raycast Store Extensions (first-party publishers + community-wrapped products)	covered	33.2 (thin)	-	-

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.

Standards implemented 2

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.
