Alcatraz AI
Alcatraz AI, Inc. builds privacy-first facial authentication for enterprise physical access control, replacing badges, cards and PINs with the face. Its flagship edge device, Rock X, installs in-line between any Wiegand or OSDP reader and an existing access control system and authenticates people in real time at the edge without storing or transmitting a facial image. Founded in 2016 in Cupertino, California, the company pioneered Facial-Authentication-as-a-Service (FAaaS) and layers tailgating detection, 3D liveness, ONVIF video-at-the-door and SIP intercom onto a single reader, managed through a cloud or on-premises Admin Portal with native C-CURE and Genetec integrations and a customer-facing REST API secured with an x-alcatraz-api-key header.
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 Alcatraz AI the way a machine reads it — 4 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, 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 — Alcatraz AI scores 22.4/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 9/100 (agent aware). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Why this profile is thin
Alcatraz publishes that a REST API exists at https://platform.alcatraz.ai/api/v2/ behind an x-alcatraz-api-key header, but the endpoint reference is only reachable from the "API Docs" button inside the authenticated Admin Portal, the Help Center tells everyone else to "contact your Alcatraz AI account manager", and the documented API host does not even resolve from the public internet.
An API exists — we simply could not reach the contract without credentials or a sales conversation. This one is Alcatraz AI's to change: publishing the reference and a machine-readable spec at a public URL, while keeping key issuance behind whatever gate they like, would let an integrator evaluate the API before committing to a call.

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 Alcatraz AI
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Alcatraz AI. 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 1
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.
Alcatraz Admin Portal API
Customer-facing REST API for the Alcatraz Admin Portal, used by third-party projects and applications to administer Rock devices, users, profiles and events. Access is authorize...
Security Posture 3
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.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Alcatraz AI, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
