TaxBit

TaxBit is an end-to-end tax compliance and information-reporting platform for the digital economy, serving enterprises and governments across 70+ jurisdictions and 140+ countries. Its API turns transaction data into accurate cost basis, realized gains (IRS Form 8949 / 1099-B), and regulatory filings, and handles tax-documentation collection (W-9, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, self-certification), US TIN validation, DAC7 digital-platform-seller reporting, and CARF/DAC8 crypto-asset reporting. The REST API (documented at apidocs.taxbit.com) authenticates with tenant-scoped and account-owner-scoped bearer tokens, and TaxBit ships embeddable React/browser SDKs for collecting tax documentation directly inside customer apps.

agent aware

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 TaxBit the way a machine reads it — 6 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, 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 — TaxBit scores 40.1/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 40/100 (agent aware). 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 TaxBit

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for TaxBit. 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 1

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.

REST API for tax compliance and information reporting: account owners, accounts, transactions, inventory, realized gains, tax documentation (W-8/W-9), filers, form items, dispos...

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.

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.
