WakaTime
WakaTime is an automated time-tracking and productivity analytics service for software developers. IDE plugins (VS Code, JetBrains, Vim, Emacs, Sublime, Xcode, Visual Studio, Eclipse, and many more) send heartbeats describing the file, project, language, branch, and editor a developer is working in, and the WakaTime API v1 aggregates that data into dashboards, summaries, stats, goals, leaderboards, and team/organization dashboards. WakaTime also offers private leaderboards, code-time-on-commit enrichment for GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket, embeddable charts, and a full data export.
WakaTime is listed with 20 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Commits API, Custom Rules API, Data Dumps API, and 17 more. Tagged areas include Developer Productivity, Developer Tools, Time Tracking, Coding Analytics, and Leaderboards.
The WakaTime catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.
WakaTime’s developer surface includes authentication, code examples, documentation, API reference, signup flow, pricing, engineering blog, and 109 more developer resources.
Kin Score
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.
