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.

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 Formstack the way a machine reads it — 37 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 — Formstack scores 26.6/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 29/100 (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. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

Formstack Kin Score — API readiness rating by API Evangelist

Put this on your own site. The badge is drawn live from Formstack's current Kin Score — paste it once and it updates itself every time the score is recomputed. It follows your visitor's light or dark setting, and it links back here so anyone who sees it can read the full breakdown.

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.

Formstack Confirmations API

The Confirmations API from Formstack — 2 operation(s) for confirmations.

Formstack Fields API

The Fields API from Formstack — 2 operation(s) for fields.

Formstack Folders API

The Folders API from Formstack — 2 operation(s) for folders.

Formstack Forms API

The Forms API from Formstack — 5 operation(s) for forms.

Formstack Notifications API

The Notifications API from Formstack — 2 operation(s) for notifications.

Formstack Subaccounts API

The Subaccounts API from Formstack — 1 operation(s) for subaccounts.

Formstack Submissions API

The Submissions API from Formstack — 2 operation(s) for submissions.

Formstack Webhooks API

The Webhooks API from Formstack — 2 operation(s) for webhooks.

Open Collections 11

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.

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 things the Kin Score reads for access clarity — renamed from commercial clarity in rubric 0.12, because a free statutory interface has access terms and no commercial ones.

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 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.

Scopes 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.

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.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Formstack, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
