Pixieset

Pixieset is an all-in-one photography business platform - client galleries, a store for print/digital sales, a website builder, a mobile gallery app, and Studio Manager (CRM, booking, invoicing, contracts, questionnaires) - used by hundreds of thousands of photographers. Pixieset does not publish a public or partner developer API, does not run a developer program, and has no self-serve API keys or OAuth signup; there is no official API reference, SDK, or webhook system for third parties. The product itself is powered internally by two session-cookie-authenticated web APIs (a Studio API at studio.pixieset.com/api/v1 for business management and a Gallery API at galleries.pixieset.com/api/v1 for gallery delivery and e-commerce) that Pixieset's own web app calls, and which an independent developer has reverse-engineered and published as unofficial, unaffiliated documentation (111+ endpoints). This entry documents that real access model honestly - no public API exists, and the endpoint shapes below are modeled from that third-party reverse-engineering effort, not from any Pixieset-published reference - treat them as unverified and subject to change or removal without notice.

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 Pixieset the way a machine reads it — 9 machine-readable artifacts across 5 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 — Pixieset scores 33.5/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 41/100 (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 Pixieset

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Pixieset. 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 5

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.

Pixieset Clients API

Client and lead CRM records.

Pixieset Collections API

Gallery collections, access, and downloads.

Pixieset Contracts API

Contracts and contract templates.

Pixieset Invoices API

Invoices and payments.

Pixieset Sessions API

Bookable session types, scheduling, and availability.

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.

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.
