Kateeva
Kateeva is a Silicon Valley capital-equipment company that builds inkjet printing systems for manufacturing advanced displays. It was co-founded in 2008 by Conor Madigan, PhD, Valerie Gassend, PhD, and Gerry Chen, PhD, on the conviction that precision inkjet deposition could make OLED displays mass-producible at cost. The company introduced its YIELDjet platform in 2013 — the display industry's first inkjet equipment solution for depositing the organic thin film encapsulation (TFE) layer of an OLED panel — and shipped the first commercial YIELDjet FLEX system a year later, which became the market-leading tool for flexible mobile OLED mass production. Its current product line is the YIELDjet Lassen, Jarvis, Tioga and Kuna printers, spanning substrate sizes and applications from TFE to OLED RGB pixel deposition and microlens planarization. Kateeva moved its global headquarters to Newark, California in 2015 and operates in China, Korea, Japan and Taiwan; it raised roughly $200 million through a 2016 Series E backed by BOE, TCL Capital, Redview Capital, Samsung Venture Investment, Sigma Partners, Spark Capital, Madrone Capital Partners, DBL Partners and Veeco. Kateeva sells machines to display panel makers, not software: it publishes no developer program, no developer portal, no SDKs and no API documentation of any kind. The only machine-readable interface it exposes is the WordPress REST content API behind its corporate website at kateeva.com, which is captured here for discovery purposes and is anonymously readable but read-only.
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 Kateeva the way a machine reads it — 13 machine-readable artifacts across 8 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 — Kateeva scores 33.0/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 48/100 (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 Kateeva
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Kateeva. 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 8
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.

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.
Kateeva Rate Limits
RATE LIMITSSecurity 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.
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals.
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.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Kateeva, 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.
