Lineage

Lineage, Inc. (Nasdaq: LINE) is the world's largest temperature-controlled warehousing and logistics REIT, operating a global cold-chain network of more than 480 facilities across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. It provides cold storage and automated warehousing, blast freezing, food manufacturing and processing support, direct-to-consumer fulfillment, and an integrated transportation arm spanning freight forwarding, customs brokerage, drayage, temperature-controlled rail, managed transportation and multi-vendor consolidation. Its customer-facing technology is Lineage Link, a supply chain platform providing real-time visibility into inventory, orders, appointments and shipment status across the facility network, supported by proprietary systems including the Sybil warehouse-optimization algorithm and the Lineage Eye computer-vision receiving system. Lineage publishes no public API, developer portal or API documentation as of 2026-07-19; customer integration runs through Lineage Link and account teams rather than a self-service developer program. This profile therefore captures the verified identity, discovery and domain-security surface rather than an API contract.

human only

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.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Lineage the way a machine reads it — 3 machine-readable artifacts, 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 — Lineage scores 17.1/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 14/100 (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 Lineage

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

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.

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.
