Akita Software
Akita Software was an API observability and analysis platform that used passive traffic monitoring to automatically map APIs, detect changes, and identify issues without requiring code changes or proxies. Akita was acquired by Postman in November 2023 and its technology has been integrated into the Postman platform as Postman Live Insights. The Akita agent is now available as the open-source Postman Insights Agent.
More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.
API Evangelist profiles Akita Software the way a machine reads it — 20 machine-readable artifacts across 2 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Akita Software scores 22.9/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 7/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Akita Software
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Akita Software. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
APIs 2
Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Pricing Plans 1
Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.
Published pricing tiers and plan structures.
Rate Limits 1
Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.
Documented rate limits and quota policies.

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Notable capabilities this provider offers.
Passive Traffic Monitoring
Monitors API traffic passively without code changes, SDK installation, or proxying, minimizing operational overhead and risk.
Automatic API Spec Generation
Generates OpenAPI specifications automatically from observed traffic, keeping documentation always up to date.
Breaking Change Detection
Detects breaking API changes by comparing observed traffic patterns across deployments and branches.
API Performance Monitoring
Tracks API response times, error rates, and traffic patterns to help identify performance regressions.
Multi-Platform Integration
Integrates with Docker, Kubernetes, NGINX, Rails, Django, Flask, FastAPI, and Heroku for broad platform coverage.
Security Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Use Cases 4
What developers actually build with this provider — captured so the catalogue answers 'what is this for', not just 'what does this expose'.
What developers build with this provider.
API Documentation Generation
Engineering teams automatically generate and maintain up-to-date API specs from production traffic without manual effort.
API Change Management
Teams detect unintentional API breaking changes between branches or deployments before they reach production.
