Bitfount
Bitfount is a full-stack federated AI and data science platform that lets organisations train, fine-tune, evaluate, and run inference on sensitive data without moving it. Instead of centralising data, Bitfount "sends the AI model to the data" — datasets stay behind the owner's firewall on their own infrastructure at all times, protected by built-in privacy-enhancing technologies (differential privacy, private set intersection). Developers work through the open-source Bitfount Python SDK (typed wrappers around the Bitfount REST API on hub.bitfount.com), a no-code desktop app, or a Docker pod image. Typical use cases include federated learning, federated evaluation, clinical trials, biomedical research, trusted research environments, and cross-party data partnerships. Backed by speedinvest.
Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.
API Evangelist profiles Bitfount 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 — Bitfount scores 34.6/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 10/100 (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 Bitfount
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Bitfount. 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.
Bitfount SDK & REST API
The Bitfount Python SDK wraps the Bitfount REST API (hub.bitfount.com) to connect data sources as pods, run federated tasks and algorithms, and manage models and datasets across...
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.
