Web Methods
Web Methods (webMethods) is an enterprise integration platform pioneer, founded in 1996 by Phillip and Caren Merrick in Fairfax, Virginia to connect software applications in real time using web standards such as HTTP and XML. Its 2000 IPO was one of the largest first-day pops of the dot-com era. webMethods was acquired by Software AG in 2007 for $546 million, and its integration portfolio - now including webMethods.io Integration (iPaaS), API Gateway and API Management, the Developer Portal, B2B/EDI, messaging, managed file transfer, and event-driven integration - was acquired by IBM in July 2024 as IBM webMethods Hybrid Integration. Mayfield was an early venture backer of the company.
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.
API Evangelist profiles Web Methods the way a machine reads it — 3 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 — Web Methods scores 17.3/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 10/100 (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 Web Methods
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Web Methods. 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 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.
