Deutsche Telekom

Deutsche Telekom AG is Europe's largest telecommunications operator, headquartered in Bonn, Germany, serving more than 250 million mobile customers across 50+ countries. It is the parent company of T-Mobile US (NASDAQ TMUS) and the majority owner of T-Systems International, its enterprise IT and cloud arm. For developers, Deutsche Telekom operates a public developer portal at developer.telekom.com offering a MagentaBusiness CPaaS suite (SMS, RCS, Voice, Video, Conversational Connect, Reports, AI Studio) built in partnership with Vonage, plus a growing portfolio of GSMA Open Gateway / CAMARA-aligned Network APIs (Number Verification, Verify, 5G Slices) launched jointly with T-Mobile US. T-Systems operates Open Telekom Cloud, an OpenStack-based sovereign public cloud with full REST APIs across compute, storage, networking, container, database, AI, and API Gateway services. Deutsche Telekom is also a substantial open-source contributor — its github.com/telekom organization publishes 245+ repositories including the Open Telekom Integration Platform (O28M), the TARDIS control-plane suite (with OpenAPI 3 specs for Rover, Controlplane, Identity, Discovery, File Manager, Secret Manager, and Stargate), the Horizon pub/sub event-streaming ecosystem, the Scale design system, Wurzel RAG ETL framework, and Kubernetes-native networking and IPAM operators.

agent aware

More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Deutsche Telekom the way a machine reads it — 76 machine-readable artifacts across 50 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 — Deutsche Telekom scores 28.7/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 41/100 (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 Deutsche Telekom

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Deutsche Telekom. 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 50

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.

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.
