Bombora

Bombora is a New York-based B2B data company that provides intent data and identity solutions used by marketing, sales, and ad-tech teams to identify in-market accounts and personalize outreach. Its flagship product, Company Surge, aggregates anonymous content-consumption signals from a cooperative of more than 5,000 B2B publishers and scores accounts against 18,000+ B2B intent topics to surface organizations actively researching specific products, services, and categories. Beyond Company Surge, Bombora offers Identity and Enrichment for first-party visitor resolution, Digital Audiences for activation across DSPs and walled gardens, Campaign Measurement for B2B attribution, and an Insights Suite that combines intent, visitor, and engagement signals. Bombora runs an Apigee Integrated Developer Portal at developer.bombora.com that publishes six OpenAPI 3.0 documents anonymously — Intent, Reference, Account List, Digital Audience Builder, Webhooks, and Authentication — covering 54 operations on api.bombora.com, all secured with OAuth 2.0 client credentials exchanged for a bearer JWT at POST /oauth/token. A separate legacy partner Company Surge API (v4) runs on sentry.bombora.com with HTTP Basic auth and a documented 60 calls-per-minute-per-endpoint limit. Credentials are not self-service: the portal is SAML-only and restricted to existing Bombora customers, the Intent and Digital Audience products require manual per-application approval, and no pricing is published — commercial access is sold via annual contracts. Bombora integrates broadly with the B2B revenue stack, including Salesforce, HubSpot, LinkedIn, 6sense, Demandbase, Apollo, ZoomInfo, Dun and Bradstreet, Snowflake, and Adobe Experience Platform, and is profiled here for its role as the dominant supplier of cooperative-sourced B2B intent data.

agent ready

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 Bombora the way a machine reads it — 30 machine-readable artifacts across 11 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 — Bombora scores 45.0/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 46/100 (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. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

How we profile Bombora

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Bombora. 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 17

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.

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

GraphQL 1

Where a provider ships GraphQL, the schema is the contract. We profile it alongside the REST surface so the whole interface is legible in one place.

Pricing 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 things the Kin Score reads for access clarity — renamed from commercial clarity in rubric 0.12, because a free statutory interface has access terms and no commercial ones.

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.

Event Specifications 1

Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

AsyncAPI definitions for this provider's event-driven and streaming APIs.

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.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Bombora, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
