MetaMap

MetaMap (formerly Mati) is an identity verification platform founded in 2017 in San Francisco and headquartered there, serving 600+ companies across 50+ countries with a focus on Latin America, Africa, and other emerging markets. The platform combines document verification, biometric liveness, facematch, watchlist screening, behavioral risk signals, and 40+ government-database "GovChecks" to power KYC, AML compliance, customer onboarding, authentication, and financial risk management workflows for banks, fintechs, lenders, telcos, and transportation providers. Developers integrate via a REST API on api.prod.metamap.com, configurable workflows ("metamaps"), webhooks, and native SDKs for Web, iOS, Android, Flutter, React Native, Cordova, and Capacitor. MetaMap joined Incode in 2024 to expand identity-verification coverage globally.

Solid contracts, transparent operations, and an easy start — typically complete on four or five facets with one clear soft spot.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles MetaMap the way a machine reads it — 67 machine-readable artifacts across 10 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 — MetaMap scores 66.1/100 (strong), with a separate agent-readiness read of 68/100 (agent native). 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 MetaMap

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for MetaMap. 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 10

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.

MetaMap Authentication API

The Authentication API from MetaMap — 2 operation(s) for authentication.

MetaMap Background Checks API

The Background Checks API from MetaMap — 2 operation(s) for background checks.

MetaMap Credit Checks API

The Credit Checks API from MetaMap — 1 operation(s) for credit checks.

MetaMap Custom Watchlists API

The Custom Watchlists API from MetaMap — 1 operation(s) for custom watchlists.

MetaMap Email Checks API

The Email Checks API from MetaMap — 2 operation(s) for email checks.

MetaMap GovChecks API

The GovChecks API from MetaMap — 34 operation(s) for govchecks.

MetaMap Phone Checks API

The Phone Checks API from MetaMap — 2 operation(s) for phone checks.

MetaMap Verifications API

The Verifications API from MetaMap — 7 operation(s) for verifications.

MetaMap Watchlist Checks API

The Watchlist Checks API from MetaMap — 1 operation(s) for watchlist checks.

MetaMap Webhooks API

The Webhooks API from MetaMap — 1 operation(s) for webhooks.

Open Collections 1

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).

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 six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

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.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Semantic Vocabularies 1

JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.

Examples 4

Real request and response payloads are what turn a spec from abstract into obvious — and they're one of the twelve things an agent needs to call an API correctly on the first try.

Example request and response payloads for these APIs.

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.
