SpecCheck

SpecCheck (speccheckrx.com) is an optical lab ordering platform for eyecare practices and eyewear partners. Its REST API lets integrators authenticate with client credentials, list the labs a user is associated with, retrieve a lab's order settings, browse the lens catalog (styles, materials, and add-on coats, colors, and tints), and create prescription (rx), frame, redo, and multi-pair orders. The API uses 24-hour bearer tokens plus a User-Email actor header, an Idempotency-Key header for safe POST retries, cursor pagination on list endpoints, and a consistent error envelope. SpecCheck was surfaced as a portfolio company of Initialized Capital and enriched by the API Evangelist pipeline from its public documentation at docs.speccheckrx.com.

SpecCheck publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Authentication API, Catalogs API, Labs API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Company, Enterprise Saas, Optical, Eyewear, and Eye Care.

SpecCheck’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, authentication, sandbox, and 20 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/.

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/speccheck: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
