Spot AI

Spot AI is a physical-security video-AI platform that turns surveillance cameras into AI agents which monitor spaces 24/7, detect suspicious activity, and trigger automated responses across retail, manufacturing, construction, healthcare, and education. The Spot AI Developer API is a JSON REST API on https://dev-api.spot.ai/ (bearer API-key auth) with three surfaces: Devices (locations, appliances, cameras, live/VOD embeds, historical footage, zones, shared searches, audio playback), Intelligence (people/vehicle counting, idle/presence analytics, and License Plate Recognition interest lists), and Spot Connect (a beta integrations platform that links external business events to camera footage via integrations, devices, event types, and events, with signed RSA256 webhooks for real-time delivery).

Spot AI publishes 15 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Analytics API, Appliances API, Audio API, and 12 more. Tagged areas include Company, Video, Physical Security, Surveillance, and Computer-Vision.

The Spot AI catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Spot AI’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, and 22 more developer resources.

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