Soothe

Soothe is a Los Angeles-based on-demand wellness marketplace, founded in 2013, that connects consumers and businesses with independent, licensed wellness professionals who deliver services at the customer's own location. The marketplace covers massage (Swedish, deep tissue, sports, prenatal, chair, percussive, reflexology, lymphatic, acupressure, Thai and myofascial), facials and skincare, and hair and beauty services, booked through the Soothe consumer app and web booking flow and fulfilled through the separate Soothe for Providers app. Alongside the B2C business, Soothe runs a B2B practice covering corporate and employee wellness programs, hospitality and spa staffing, residential communities and event chair massage, plus a SoothePass subscription membership. It operates in 40+ US cities across roughly 32 states and Washington D.C., and internationally in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom. Soothe publishes no public developer program: its API host, api.soothe.com, is a credentialed sign-in wall, and the partner booking platform it markets to hospitality and corporate customers is reached through a contact-sales form rather than public documentation.

Soothe publishes 3 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network: Health API, Manifest.json API, and Soothe Help Center Mirror API. Tagged areas include Company, Wellness, Health and Wellness, Massage, and Marketplace.

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

Soothe’s developer surface includes documentation, support, engineering blog, signup flow, authentication, and 15 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health 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
Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
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)
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.

Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):

Contract Quality scores 38.3 — up to +15.4 composite points
Developer Ergonomics scores 30.4 — up to +13.9 composite points
Access Clarity scores 34.2 — up to +13.2 composite points

Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.

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 the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/soothe/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/soothe to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.

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
Franchise Registries (registered franchisors, IFA, POS franchise partners)	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.

Standards implemented 1

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.
