Formstack
Formstack is a no-code workplace productivity platform spanning online forms, document generation, electronic signature, and workflow automation. The developer portal at developers.formstack.com exposes a REST API (v2025.0) for forms, submissions, fields, webhooks, folders, and partial submissions, plus product-specific surfaces for Formstack Documents, Formstack Sign, and Formstack Workflows. Authentication uses OAuth 2.0. Machine-readable indexes and OpenAPI artifacts are surfaced at developers.formstack.com/llms.txt.
Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.
API Evangelist profiles Formstack the way a machine reads it — 28 machine-readable artifacts across 17 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 — Formstack scores 42.6/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 54/100 (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 Formstack
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Formstack. 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 17
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.
Formstack Forms API
REST API for creating, reading, updating, and deleting forms in a Formstack account, including form configuration, styling, and access rules.
Formstack Submissions API
Read, create, update, and delete form submissions; supports filtering by date, search, and field values. Returns submitted field data and metadata.
Formstack Fields API
Programmatically manage form fields - text, select, file upload, signature, payment, calculation, and others - including ordering, validation, and conditional logic.
Formstack Webhooks API
Configure webhook subscriptions to receive submission events at a customer-provided URL, with retry semantics for failed deliveries.
Formstack Folders API
Manage folder organization for forms within a Formstack account.
Formstack Documents API
Programmatic interface to Formstack Documents (formerly WebMerge) for generating PDFs, Word docs, and other templated documents from data payloads.
Formstack Sign API
Electronic signature API for sending documents for signature, tracking status, and retrieving signed copies. Part of the Formstack Suite.
Formstack Workflows API
Workflow automation surface for routing submissions, documents, and approvals across multi-step business processes.
Formstack OAuth 2.0
OAuth 2.0 authorization server used to authenticate API clients and issue access tokens for the Formstack REST API.

Open Collections 2
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 COLLECTIONPricing 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.

RATE LIMITSFinOps 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.

FINOPSSecurity 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.

SECURITYScopes 1
OAuth scopes are the vocabulary of least-privilege access. Profiling them shows exactly what an integration — or an agent acting on a user's behalf — is allowed to do.
OAuth scopes governing access to this provider's APIs.
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.
Recommended x-agentic-access execution contracts for AI agents.
