Rows

Rows is an AI-powered spreadsheet that connects to live data from dozens of business tools and lets teams build reports, dashboards and lightweight data apps without leaving a familiar grid. Beyond the app, Rows ships a public REST API (base https://api.rows.com/v1) authenticated with a Bearer API key: it exposes workspaces, folders and spreadsheets for discovery, table cell and value read-write operations for moving data in and out of a sheet, and a Vision endpoint that uses AI to extract structured tabular data from image and document files. API access is included on every plan with monthly call quotas scaling from the Free tier (500 calls/month) to Enterprise. Rows is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant with European data residency, and joined Superhuman in 2025. It was backed by Accel.

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Rows the way a machine reads it — 10 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 — Rows scores 48.2/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 53/100 (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 Rows

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

Rows Data API

Read and write table cell and value ranges.

Rows Folders API

Discover folders that organize spreadsheets.

Rows Spreadsheets API

List and read spreadsheets and their tables.

Rows Vision API

Extract structured data from files using Rows AI Vision.

Rows Workspaces API

Discover the workspaces available to the authenticated key.

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.
