IDEXX

IDEXX Laboratories is a global leader in veterinary diagnostics, offering reference laboratory testing, in-house analyzers (IDEXX VetLab Station), diagnostic imaging (IDEXX Web PACS), and practice management software (Cornerstone, Neo, and ezyVet, which IDEXX acquired in 2021). IDEXX connects the practice to its diagnostic ecosystem through VetConnect PLUS - a diagnostic results and ordering platform - and through partner integration APIs for Web PACS imaging and reference/in-house lab results. These developer integrations are partner-gated - the developer portal at developer.vetconnectplus.com requires an authenticated login, and partner access is granted only after an approved IDEXX integration request. Web PACS API Partner integrations authenticate with OAuth 2.0-style credentials (Client ID, Client Secret, and Grant Type) issued by IDEXX customer support. IDEXX does not publish an open, unauthenticated API reference, OpenAPI description, or pricing; the logical APIs below are modeled from IDEXX's public product and integration pages, not from a public endpoint reference.

human only

Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles IDEXX the way a machine reads it — 7 machine-readable artifacts across 5 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 — IDEXX scores 14.9/100 (minimal), 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 IDEXX

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for IDEXX. 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 5

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.

Security Posture 2

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.
