Synop

Synop is a software platform for commercial electric vehicle fleet charging and energy management, describing itself as "the operating system for commercial EV fleets." Its hardware- and software-agnostic platform integrates vehicles, chargers, and the grid across the U.S. and Europe, spanning charge management (remote charger control, real-time alerts, EVSE interoperability across 100+ charging station models), energy management (AI-based load and time-of-use optimization, curtailment, demand response, and vehicle-to-grid events), vehicle management (state-of-charge and efficiency via telematics), payment management (billing, driver reimbursement, and transaction reporting), utility management, and SynopLink edge connectivity for site-level operations. Synop cites 500+ MWh under management across 800+ commercial depots. Its API integrations surface live time-of-use rate data and export reimbursement data to accounting and expense systems, though the developer documentation is a password-gated ReadMe admin guide rather than a public developer portal.

human only

More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Synop the way a machine reads it — 2 machine-readable artifacts, 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 — Synop scores 19.9/100 (emerging), 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.

How we profile Synop

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

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.
