Bytebase

Bytebase is a database DevOps and CI/CD platform - the GitOps-style control plane for schema change, migration, and access management across MySQL, PostgreSQL, and many other engines. Every action in the web console is backed by a documented API exposed as both Connect/gRPC and RESTful HTTP (gRPC transcoding), authenticated with a service-account Bearer token. Bytebase ships as free, self-hostable open source (OSS) with paid Pro and Enterprise tiers.

agent ready

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Bytebase the way a machine reads it — 20 machine-readable artifacts across 12 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 — Bytebase scores 40.7/100 (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 Bytebase

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Bytebase. 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 12

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.

Bytebase Auth API

The Auth API from Bytebase — 1 operation(s) for auth.

Bytebase Databases API

The Databases API from Bytebase — 2 operation(s) for databases.

Bytebase Groups API

The Groups API from Bytebase — 1 operation(s) for groups.

Bytebase Instances API

The Instances API from Bytebase — 2 operation(s) for instances.

Bytebase Issues API

The Issues API from Bytebase — 3 operation(s) for issues.

Bytebase Plans API

The Plans API from Bytebase — 1 operation(s) for plans.

Bytebase Projects API

Bytebase Rollouts API

The Rollouts API from Bytebase — 2 operation(s) for rollouts.

Bytebase Sheets API

The Sheets API from Bytebase — 1 operation(s) for sheets.

Bytebase Users API

The Users API from Bytebase — 1 operation(s) for users.

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).

OPEN COLLECTION

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 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.

FinOps 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.

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.

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.
