Shyft

Shyft is a mobile-first workforce management platform for hourly and shift-based teams — employees swap shifts, message teammates, set their availability, and manage schedules from their phone, while managers build and publish schedules from a dashboard. The Shyft Customer API is the REST/JSON backend behind the Shyft iOS and Android apps, the web app, and the Manager Dashboard, covering authentication, users, locations, availabilities, schedules and shifts, channels and chats, posts and notifications, departments, subscriptions, and earned wage access (EWA). It is secured with HTTP Bearer (JWT) tokens. Shyft is backed by General Catalyst and Techstars.

agent ready

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 Shyft the way a machine reads it — 59 machine-readable artifacts across 56 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 — Shyft scores 34.9/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 51/100 (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 Shyft

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Shyft. 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 56

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.

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.
