Pulse

Ivanti's secure-access product family, formerly Pulse Secure, acquired by Ivanti in 2020. Three administrator-facing REST APIs configure and observe it: Ivanti Connect Secure for SSL VPN remote access, Ivanti Policy Secure for 802.1X and RADIUS/TACACS+ network access control, and Ivanti Neurons for Zero Trust Access for per-application ZTNA. Connect Secure and Policy Secure are customer-run appliances whose management API is reached at the customer's own host; nZTA is a hosted tenant. All three are configuration and management interfaces rather than data-plane APIs — they change who can reach what on a corporate network. Ivanti publishes no OpenAPI and no SDK for any of them; the published contract is prose documentation with worked curl examples plus a customer-portal Postman collection.

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 Pulse the way a machine reads it — 20 machine-readable artifacts across 3 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 — Pulse scores 37.3/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 8/100 (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. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

How we profile Pulse

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Pulse. 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 3

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.

Ivanti Connect Secure REST API

REST API for managing Ivanti Connect Secure (formerly Pulse Connect Secure) VPN appliances. Provides endpoints for system configuration, user and role management, authentication...

Ivanti Policy Secure REST API

REST API for managing Ivanti Policy Secure (formerly Pulse Policy Secure) network access control appliances.

Ivanti Neurons for Zero Trust Access REST API

REST API for managing Ivanti Neurons for Zero Trust Access (nZTA), providing endpoints for managing zero trust access policies, gateways, and user access.

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 things the Kin Score reads for access clarity — renamed from commercial clarity in rubric 0.12, because a free statutory interface has access terms and no commercial ones.

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.

Notable capabilities this provider offers.

SSL VPN Remote Access

Secure remote access to corporate resources through SSL VPN tunnels with granular access policies.

Zero Trust Network Access

Identity-aware, application-level access control without exposing network resources.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Pulse, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
