Second Spectrum (Genius Sports)
Second Spectrum is a Los Angeles–based computer vision and AI sports tracking company, acquired by Genius Sports in 2021 for roughly $200M. It supplies skeletal and optical tracking, machine-learning analytics, and augmented broadcast products to major leagues, clubs, and broadcasters — most notably the NBA (official tracking partner from 2017 to 2023), the Premier League (official tracking partner via Football DataCo), and MLS. The customer-facing offering is the Performance Studio platform, used by club analysts and coaching staff to access tracking data, visualizations, and tagged clips. There is no public developer portal, no published OpenAPI, and no self-serve API keys; data and integration access are delivered exclusively under enterprise agreement with Genius Sports. The product surface is effectively a sales-led, league/club-tier offering rather than a developer API.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles Second Spectrum (Genius Sports) the way a machine reads it — 3 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 — Second Spectrum (Genius Sports) scores 11.0/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (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.
