Vital

Vital (now operating as Junction, formerly tryVital) is a health-data API platform that gives digital-health, virtual-care, diagnostics, wellness, and EHR/EMR builders a single integration to wearable-device data and nationwide lab testing. Connect 300+ wearables and health devices — Apple HealthKit, Android Health Connect, Oura, Whoop, Garmin, Fitbit, Withings, Dexcom, Freestyle Libre, Withings, Polar, and the rest — through the Vital Link Widget; ingest normalized daily summaries and per-sample timeseries for sleep, activity, body, workouts, heart rate, HRV, glucose, blood pressure, SpO2, ECG, and menstrual cycle; order at-home testkits, at-home phlebotomy, walk-in / Patient Service Center lab collection, and on-site collection across all 50 U.S. states; retrieve structured biomarker results; and run Junction Sense continuous queries to turn raw data into clinically actionable insights. Backed by SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, GDPR-ready, and HIPAA-compliant infrastructure with both US and EU regional deployments.

agent ready

Solid contracts, transparent operations, and an easy start — typically complete on four or five facets with one clear soft spot.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Vital the way a machine reads it — 104 machine-readable artifacts across 18 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 — Vital scores 66.7/100 (strong), with a separate agent-readiness read of 54/100 (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 Vital

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Vital. 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 18

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.

Postman Collections 7

A runnable collection turns the contract into something a developer can execute in seconds. We profile them because the fastest way to trust an API is to make a real call against it.

Arazzo Workflows 10

Real integrations are rarely a single call. Arazzo describes the multi-step sequences — auth, then create, then confirm — so both a human and an agent can follow the choreography, not just the endpoints.

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.
