Dott

Dott is a European shared micromobility operator running fleets of electric scooters and e-bikes across 250+ cities in Europe and the Middle East. Formed from the 2024 merger of Dott and TIER (the TIER brand was retired into the Dott app that year), the company is headquartered in Amsterdam, Berlin and Paris. For developers and mobility-data partners, Dott publishes its fleet data through the open GBFS 2.3 standard: real-time vehicle locations, vehicle types, per-city pricing plans, geofencing zones and station data are served from gbfs.api.ridedott.com, with an authenticated partner variant carrying stable (non-rotating) vehicle IDs. Originally added to the API Evangelist network as a SoftBank Vision Fund portfolio lead, enriched from its live public developer surface.

Dott publishes 6 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Discovery API, Stations API, System API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Company, Transportation, Micromobility, Mobility, and E-Scooter.

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

Dott’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, code examples, authentication, and 18 more developer resources.

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):

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
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)

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.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
Transit and Mobility (public transit, rail, micromobility)	standard	34.5 (thin)	-	1
Open Mobility Foundation MDS (shared micromobility, carshare, delivery robots, passenger services)	standard	34.5 (thin)	-	1

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 2

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.
