Donuts
Donuts (now operating as Identity Digital, following the 2022 merger of Donuts Inc. and Afilias) runs the world's largest portfolio of new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) — more than 280 extensions such as .email, .guru, .social, .live, and .restaurant. As a wholesale domain registry it provides DNS infrastructure, domain-name security, premium-domain services, and rights-protection tooling to the accredited registrars and resellers who sell domains to end customers. Its programmatic surface is registry-oriented and partner-facing: an EPP (Extensible Provisioning Protocol) interface for domain provisioning, a HTTP Reports API that delivers weekly domain and billing report files (CSV.gz over HTTP basic auth), and a Registrar Portal. There is no public REST/OpenAPI developer surface.
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.
API Evangelist profiles Donuts the way a machine reads it — 2 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, 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 — Donuts scores 20.4/100 (emerging), 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 Donuts
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Donuts. 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 1
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.
Identity Digital Reports API
HTTP Reports API for accredited registrars: retrieves weekly domain and billing report files (CSV, gzip-compressed) from the Identity Digital registry. Authenticated with regist...
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.
