TrueBiz

TrueBiz automates merchant risk assessment by analyzing a business's internet footprint. Its Web Presence Review API scores a merchant's legitimacy and risk from a domain plus submitted business details, returning a rich Company profile with fraud-risk analysis, website content flags, customer reviews, connected people and entities, and domain/hosting intelligence. A Monitoring API watches domains continuously and raises alerts, and Blocklist, Industry Discovery, and Fraud Search endpoints round out the platform. Payments providers and financial institutions use TrueBiz to streamline underwriting and ongoing merchant due diligence. The REST API authenticates with an X-API-KEY header and is documented with an OpenAPI 3.0.2 specification.

TrueBiz publishes 11 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Async Web Presence Review API, Fraud Searches API, History API, and 8 more. Tagged areas include Company, Security, Fraud Prevention, Business Verification, and Merchant Risk.

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

TrueBiz’s developer surface includes developer portal, documentation, API reference, authentication, engineering blog, support, and 15 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Payments 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
Rate-Limit Signaling +7 pts — OpenAPI responses document X-RateLimit-* / RateLimit headers (verified), else a rate_limits artifact or RateLimits link (documented)
Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link

9 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

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

Access Clarity scores 27.6 — up to +14.5 composite points
Contract Quality scores 47.9 — up to +13.0 composite points
Operational Transparency scores 2.6 — up to +12.7 composite points

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.
