Leap Motion
Leap Motion is the hand-tracking company behind the Leap Motion Controller. It merged with Ultrahaptics in 2019 to form Ultraleap, and the Leap Motion brand now continues as Ultraleap's hardware line (Leap Motion Controller 2) and as the "Leap" naming across the tracking SDK. The developer surface is not a hosted web API: it is LeapC, a native C API that connects a local client to the Ultraleap Hand Tracking Service and delivers tracked hands, digits, bones, images and device events as polled messages, plus first-party plugins for Unity, Unreal, OpenXR and Python. The original leapmotion.com and developer.leapmotion.com domains no longer resolve; docs.ultraleap.com and github.com/ultraleap are the live developer surfaces.
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 Leap Motion the way a machine reads it — 3 machine-readable artifacts across 2 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 — Leap Motion scores 26.1/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 8/100 (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 Leap Motion
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Leap Motion. 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 2
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 1
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.
