Barneyscan
Barneyscan was a San Leandro, California color imaging company founded in 1986 that built one of the first high-quality 24-bit color film scanners and related graphic-arts software for the press and prepress industry. It is best known as the origin of Adobe Photoshop, whose early version 0.87 shipped bundled with Barneyscan scanners as "Barneyscan XP" before Adobe licensed it. Backed by Battery Ventures, Bay Partners, and OSCCO Ventures, the company was acquired by PixelCraft on March 1, 1993 and no longer operates. It has no live website, developer portal, or public API surface, so there is nothing for the enrichment pipeline to harvest.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
Barneyscan is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
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 — Barneyscan scores 6.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (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.

Barneyscan is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
