Blend
Blend (Blend Labs) is a cloud digital-lending and account-opening platform for banks, credit unions, and mortgage lenders. Its Builder platform powers consumer-facing origination for mortgage (home lending), consumer lending (home equity, personal loans, credit cards, auto), and deposit account opening. The Blend Public API is a documented REST surface (developers.blend.com) that lets lenders and their technology partners create and manage lending applications, borrowers/parties, documents and disclosures, pricing, closings and eSignature packages, follow-ups (tasks), assignments, and webhook event notifications, and to export industry-standard loan files (Fannie Mae 3.2, MISMO 3.3.1/3.4) into a loan origination system (LOS). API access is credential-gated - tokens are issued to Blend customers and certified integration partners rather than through open self-service signup.
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 Blend the way a machine reads it — 17 machine-readable artifacts across 10 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 — Blend scores 40.3/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 48/100 (agent ready). 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 Blend
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Blend. 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 10
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.
Blend Borrowers & Parties API
Borrowers, coborrowers, realtors, employers, incomes, and positions.
Blend Closings & eSignature API
Closings, packages, eNotes, and RON sessions.
Blend Consumer Lending & Deposit API
Consumer lending, account opening, and deposit account applications.
Blend Documents & Disclosures API
Documents, disclosures, tax transcripts, and loan file export.
Blend Events & Webhooks API
Event notifications and event status.
Blend Follow-ups API
Borrower tasks and conditions.
Blend Home Lending Applications API
Create and manage mortgage (home lending) applications.

Open Collections 1
Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.
Open, tool-agnostic API collections (OpenAPI-derived and Bruno).
Blend Public API
OPEN COLLECTIONPricing 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.

RATE LIMITSFinOps 1
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.
Cost, billing, and metering signals for API financial operations.

FINOPSSecurity 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.
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals.
Agentic Access 1
An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
Recommended x-agentic-access execution contracts for AI agents.
