Recorded Future

Recorded Future is a threat intelligence platform whose Intelligence Cloud combines open-web, dark-web, technical, and customer telemetry sources via the Intelligence Graph, indexed and analyzed by Insikt Group analysts and AI. The platform spans Threat Intelligence, Brand Intelligence, Identity Intelligence, SecOps Intelligence, Vulnerability Intelligence, Attack Surface Intelligence, Payment Fraud Intelligence, and Geopolitical Intelligence, plus Cyber Daily and the AI Analyst. Recorded Future exposes a REST API at api.recordedfuture.com (commonly called ConnectAPI) that customers and integration partners use to pull indicators, entities, alerts, and risk scores into SIEMs, SOARs, TIPs, and custom security workflows. Named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cyberthreat Intelligence Technologies.

More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Recorded Future the way a machine reads it — 31 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, 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 — Recorded Future scores 26.8/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 7/100 (human only). 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 Recorded Future

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Recorded Future. 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 1

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.

Recorded Future Intelligence Cloud API

The Recorded Future Intelligence Cloud REST API (api.recordedfuture.com) provides programmatic access to threat intelligence sourced from over a million open-web, dark-web, tech...

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.

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.
