CaptivateIQ

CaptivateIQ is a sales performance and commission management platform that automates the calculation, administration, and reporting of sales commissions and incentive compensation. Its ICM (Incentive Compensation Management) and SPM (Sales Performance Management) products let revenue, finance, and sales-ops teams design complex commission plans, model quotas and territories, and pay reps accurately and on time. CaptivateIQ exposes a public REST API (ciq/v1) for managing employees, users, hierarchies, data workbooks and worksheets, employee assumptions, commission plans, period groups, payouts, report models, transformation worksheets, uploads, dashboards, and audit logs. The API uses token-based authentication (Authorization header with a "Token" prefix), limit/offset pagination, and per-tier rate limiting, and is documented on a public developer portal with guides, recipes, a changelog, and an llms.txt index.

agent aware

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 CaptivateIQ the way a machine reads it — 21 machine-readable artifacts across 16 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 — CaptivateIQ scores 50.4/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 33/100 (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 CaptivateIQ

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for CaptivateIQ. 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 16

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.

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.

Security Posture 4

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.
