Scandit
Scandit is the smart data capture company, founded in 2009 and headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland. Its vision-AI Smart Data Capture platform turns smartphones, handheld computers, wearables, drones and fixed cameras into high-performance scanners that read barcodes, text, IDs and objects with unmatched speed and accuracy. Scandit is delivered to developers as a first-party Data Capture SDK across iOS, Android, Web, React Native, Flutter, Cordova, Capacitor and .NET/MAUI, plus hosted products like ID Bolt for drop-in website ID scanning. Products include SparkScan, Barcode Capture, MatrixScan (AR/Count/Batch), Smart Label Capture and ID Capture. Authentication is a per-application license key, and recognition runs on-device at the edge. Customers include Walmart, Instacart, Levi Strauss & Co., Sephora, Lufthansa and FedEx.
Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.
API Evangelist profiles Scandit the way a machine reads it — 4 machine-readable artifacts across 2 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 — Scandit scores 31.9/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 14/100 (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 Scandit
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Scandit. 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 2
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.

Scandit ID Bolt
Cloud-hosted, drop-in identity-document scanning pop-up for websites with built-in phone handover, loaded via the @scandit/web-id-bolt package.
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.
