UserTesting

UserTesting is a human insight platform for experience research: teams recruit vetted participants, run usability tests, surveys, live conversations, and interaction tests, and analyze session videos, transcripts, and QXscore experience metrics. Its developer surface at developer.usertesting.com exposes the Results API (v2) for programmatic access to session data, videos, transcripts, clips, highlight reels, and QXscores, plus Legacy (v1) endpoints for embedding content from classic tests. Authentication is OAuth 2.0 client credentials issued against its Okta authorization server, and an official MCP server (early access) connects the platform to Claude, ChatGPT, Figma Make, and other AI clients.

UserTesting publishes 8 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Clip API, General Session Data API, Highlightreel API, and 5 more. Tagged areas include Company, User Research, Usability Testing, Human Insight, and Customer Experience.

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

UserTesting’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, authentication, changelog, support, engineering blog, and 29 more developer resources.

Kin Score

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-11-06 · rubric v0.27.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) 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 does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to upsert.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% 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):
  • Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
  • A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
  • Typed Event Surface +6 pts — AsyncAPI document, OR webhooks/callbacks objects in the as-published OpenAPI, OR common[].type includes Webhooks
  • Protected Resource Metadata +5 pts — a served /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource carrying `resource` (documented), and naming its authorization_servers (verified)
  • Agentic Commerce Well-Known Document +5 pts — a parsing /.well-known/ucp.json or acp.json declaring a version and at least one service, OR (0.27) a live x402 payment challenge from _data/x402-adoption.json — `self` when its endpoints are on the provider's own domain, `platform` when they are on a vendor's

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.

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.

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 4

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.
