BrightBytes
BrightBytes was a San Francisco-based K-12 education data and analytics company founded in 2012 by Rob Mancabelli, best known for Clarity, a decision-support and analytics platform used by schools and districts to connect technology spending and classroom use to student learning outcomes, and for DataSense, a data-integration platform that captured, cleaned, and synced student data between disparate school systems. The company sold DataSense and its team to Microsoft in February 2019 and was itself acquired by Google in 2022. BrightBytes no longer operates independently: as of July 2026 www.brightbytes.net returns an expired-site placeholder and no developer portal, documentation, API, SDK, or status surface remains. This profile is retained as a historical company record with no API surface to catalog.
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.
API Evangelist profiles BrightBytes the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, 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 — BrightBytes 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.

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