Spot

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

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