Blynk
Blynk is a low-code / no-code IoT software platform that helps companies prototype, deploy, and remotely manage connected devices and applications across consumer and commercial markets. The platform combines four components — Blynk.Console (web dashboard), Blynk.Apps (white-labeled iOS and Android apps), Blynk.Edgent (device-side connection library), and Blynk.Cloud (managed backend) — into a full-stack offering that removes the need to build custom IoT infrastructure. Developers can build interactive mobile and web dashboards with a drag-and-drop builder, connect hardware over Wi-Fi, Cellular, LoRaWAN, Ethernet, or satellite, and operate fleets with provisioning, OTA firmware updates, multi-tenancy, automations, webhooks, and SOC 2 cloud infrastructure. Commercial customers use Blynk for branded consumer products, industrial monitoring, agriculture, energy and HVAC, smart cities, and smart buildings, with more than 5,000 companies and 1M+ developers on the platform. Blynk exposes two HTTPS REST APIs — the Device HTTPS API for telemetry and command exchange from individual hardware units, and the Platform HTTPS API (Enterprise plan) for full programmatic CRUD over devices, users, organizations, templates, automations, webhooks, and tags using OAuth2 client-credential authentication.
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 Blynk the way a machine reads it — 27 machine-readable artifacts across 3 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 — Blynk scores 32.5/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 29/100 (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.

How we profile Blynk
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Blynk. 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 3
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.

Security Posture 1
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.
