Stark Bank

Stark Bank is a regulated Brazilian financial institution (authorized by the Banco Central do Brasil, not a payment service provider) that exposes end-to-end money movement through a single RESTful JSON API. Businesses collect money with Pix Invoices, Pix QR codes, Pix subscriptions, Boletos, card payments and marketplace split receivables, and pay out with Pix/TED Transfers, Boleto, BR Code, utility, tax and DARF payments plus approval-gated Payment Requests. Received funds land directly in the account balance with no wallet or payout step. The v2 OpenAPI 3.1 API (143 operations) authenticates with ECDSA request signing rather than API keys or OAuth, offers a production-identical sandbox, cursor pagination, externalId idempotency and signed webhook events, and ships nine official SDKs (Python, Node, Go, Java, Ruby, PHP, .NET, Elixir, Clojure).

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 Stark Bank the way a machine reads it — 36 machine-readable artifacts across 31 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 — Stark Bank scores 55.0/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 65/100 (agent native). 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 Stark Bank

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Stark Bank. 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 31

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.

Event Specifications 1

Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

AsyncAPI definitions for this provider's event-driven and streaming APIs.

Security Posture 3

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.
