Modern

Modern (modernis.com) is a two-way customer interaction platform for heavy-equipment dealerships, unifying service communications "from intake to invoice" across construction, agriculture, mining, landscaping, and material-handling sectors. It provides two-way text and email messaging, digital repair-order approvals, inspection and warranty documentation, outbound maintenance scheduling, rental tracking, parts-order status, and DMS integration. The MODERN Partner API (docs.modernis.com, base https://connect.modernis.com) lets authorized integrators read dealership dashboards, manage service work orders, post work-order events, send customer notifications, and maintain technicians and notes on a franchise's behalf using 24-hour bearer tokens exchanged from franchise credentials.

agent aware

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 Modern the way a machine reads it — 11 machine-readable artifacts across 8 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 — Modern scores 37.2/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 32/100 (agent aware). 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 Modern

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Modern. 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 8

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.

Postman Collections 1

A runnable collection turns the contract into something a developer can execute in seconds. We profile them because the fastest way to trust an API is to make a real call against it.

Ready-to-run Postman collections for exercising this provider's 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.
