Alokai (formerly Vue Storefront)

Alokai (formerly Vue Storefront) is a Frontend-as-a-Service platform for composable, headless commerce. It connects enterprise ecommerce backends (SAP Commerce Cloud, Salesforce, Adobe Commerce/Magento, commercetools, BigCommerce, Shopware and others) to fast, customizable storefronts through the Alokai SDK, a server-side Middleware layer, a Unified Data Layer, the StorefrontUI component library, and Alokai Cloud hosting managed via the Alokai Console. The Alokai Cloud API ("farmer", OpenAPI 3.0) programmatically manages cloud instances, deployments, pods, ingresses, CDN cache and environment variables, authenticated with X-Api-Key and X-User-Id headers.

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Alokai (formerly Vue Storefront) the way a machine reads it — 20 machine-readable artifacts across 18 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 — Alokai (formerly Vue Storefront) scores 46.1/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 26/100 (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.

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.

Security Posture 2

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.
