Port

Port is an Internal Developer Portal built around an API-first software catalog, customizable blueprints and entities, self-service actions, and scorecards. Platform teams model their own domain (services, environments, pipelines, AI agents, cloud resources) as blueprints, ingest data from integrations (GitHub, GitLab, AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Datadog, PagerDuty, Snyk, ServiceNow), and expose developer workflows as self-service actions backed by GitHub Actions, GitLab pipelines, Jenkins, Argo, or webhooks. Everything in Port - blueprints, entities, actions, runs, scorecards, integrations, pages, webhooks, AI agents - is reachable via the public REST API.

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 Port the way a machine reads it — 25 machine-readable artifacts across 16 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 — Port scores 37.5/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 48/100 (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 Port

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Port. 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 16

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.

Port REST API

Public REST API for the Port platform. Bearer-token authenticated (3-hour tokens minted from Port credentials), with regional base URLs for EU and US tenants. Body size capped a...

Port Blueprints API

Endpoints to create, read, update, and delete blueprints - the schemas that define an organization's data model in the Port catalog (services, environments, AI agents, cloud res...

Port Entities API

Endpoints to create, search, update, and delete entities (instances of a blueprint) in the Port catalog, plus bulk operations and relations.

Port Actions API

Endpoints to manage self-service actions on blueprints and entities - day-2 operations, scaffolding, and workflows that developers run from the Port UI or programmatically.

Port Action Runs API

Endpoints to trigger action runs, fetch their status and logs, post progress updates from external runners, and approve or reject pending runs.

Port Workflows API

Endpoints to define and orchestrate multi-step workflows that chain Port actions, integration runs, and approvals.

Port Scorecards API

Endpoints to manage scorecards (production readiness, security, SLO compliance, etc.) and query scores per entity.

Port Integrations API

Endpoints to register, configure, and ingest data from Port integrations (Ocean), including resync, mapping configuration, and integration lifecycle.

Port Webhooks API

Endpoints to register webhook subscriptions and to receive inbound webhook events from upstream systems for ingestion into the Port catalog.

Port Teams and Users API

Endpoints to manage teams, users, roles, and team-membership for the Port organization.

Port Audit API

Endpoints to query Port audit logs for catalog, action, integration, and administrative events.

Port AI and LLM Management API

Endpoints to manage AI agents, prompts, memory, and LLM-driven capabilities embedded in the Port platform.

Port Pages, Apps, and Plugins API

Endpoints to manage portal pages, apps, and plugin extensions that compose the developer-facing surface of the Port IDP.

Port Ocean Integration Framework

Open-source framework used to build Port integrations that ingest data from third-party systems into the catalog. Maintained at github.com/port-labs/ocean.

Port Blueprints API

Manage blueprint definitions in the software catalog.

Port Entities API

Manage catalog entities created from blueprints.

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.

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.

Cost, billing, and metering signals for API financial operations.

Security Posture 4

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.
