LiveChat

LiveChat is a customer service and live chat platform used by businesses to engage website visitors, run sales conversations, and route support tickets across agent teams. The Text Platform (which powers LiveChat) exposes a suite of REST APIs for chats, agents, customers, configuration, and reporting, with both Web API and RTM (real-time messaging) interfaces. Authentication uses OAuth 2.1 with Personal Access Tokens or full OAuth authorization code flow.

agent ready

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles LiveChat the way a machine reads it — 17 machine-readable artifacts across 12 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 — LiveChat scores 33.9/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 47/100 (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 LiveChat

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for LiveChat. 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 12

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.

LiveChat Agent Chat API

REST and RTM APIs for agents to manage chats, send messages, transfer conversations, and update statuses. Authenticated with OAuth 2.1 bearer tokens or Personal Access Tokens.

LiveChat Customer Chat API

REST and RTM APIs for customers to start and participate in chats with agents on LiveChat-powered websites. Uses customer access tokens.

LiveChat Configuration API

Manage agents, groups, bots, tags, webhooks, properties, and other account configuration for a LiveChat organization.

LiveChat Webhooks and RTM API

Asynchronous event surfaces for LiveChat. HTTP webhooks registered through the Configuration API and the Agent Chat Real-Time Messaging (RTM) WebSocket API share the same event ...

Open Collections 2

Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.

Open, tool-agnostic API collections (OpenAPI-derived and Bruno).

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.

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.
