Kount
Kount is a Boise, Idaho-based fraud prevention and chargeback management platform, now operating as part of Equifax. Kount combines AI-driven risk scoring, device fingerprinting, identity intelligence, and a multi-tenant global data network to help merchants, payment processors, and digital businesses stop payment fraud, account takeover, and chargebacks while reducing false positives. The Kount 360 platform offers Payments Fraud, Account Takeover Protection, Chargeback Management, and Identity Trust services exposed through REST APIs, mobile SDKs, a JavaScript Data Collector, and e-commerce platform plugins.
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 Kount the way a machine reads it — 31 machine-readable artifacts across 3 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 — Kount scores 18.1/100 (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 Kount
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Kount. 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 3
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.
