About this repository

This is not our API. This repository is an independent, third-party profile of a company's publicly available API surface, maintained by API Evangelist. API Evangelist does not operate, host, resell, or support this company's APIs, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated on the profile.

Where the information came from. Everything here is assembled from material a member of the public can reach with a browser and no credentials — the company's own website, developer portal and documentation, the specifications it publishes for public use (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, JSON Schema, apis.json, llms.txt and similar), its public repositories, and its public status, pricing and changelog pages. Nothing here is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials of any kind.

The rating is an independent assessment. The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated scores of a company's public API artifacts, produced by API Evangelist against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits, and they score published artifacts — not the quality, safety, or security of the software.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free. No partnership, contract, or purchase is required, and you do not need to justify the request.

  • Something wrong? Open an issue on this repository, or email info@apievangelist.com.
  • Published something new? Ask for a re-score and we will re-run the rating.
  • Want the listing taken down? Say so and we will honor it. The profile is reduced to your company name, a factual description, and a link to your own site, and the company is recorded as unrated — never scored zero for having asked.

Response times. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal or restriction within two business days; corrections and re-scores within five business days.

Not from the company, and here with a question? You are welcome here — we would rather be the front line and point you the right way than have a good report go nowhere. What this repository can answer is narrow, though, so it is worth knowing who you are actually looking for:

  • A question about how the API works, an account, billing, or a bug in the service — that is the company's own support, not us. We profile this API; we do not operate it and cannot see your account.
  • A bug in an open-source project we only catalog — file it on that project's own repository. This has happened with a real and correct bug report that reached us instead of the people who could fix it, which helped nobody.
  • Anything about this listing itself — the description, the tags, the rating, a missing or wrong artifact — is ours. Open an issue here.
  • Not sure, or something general about API Evangelist or APIs.io — open an issue on the APIs.io Inbox and we will route it.

This repository contains no software, and we will never ask you to download anything. There is no build, release, installer, or binary here — only text and machine-readable API descriptions, so there is nothing here that can be "corrupt" or need "repairing". Any issue, comment, or email claiming otherwise and offering a download link is not from us and is hostile. Do not follow the link; it is a lure. Report it to GitHub and, if you like, tell us at info@apievangelist.com so we can take it down.

On a security or compliance team? Email info@apievangelist.com with security in the subject line and you will get a person, not a form. We will tell you exactly which public URLs this profile was built from so your team can see the same surface we did, and we will take the listing down on request while you work through it.

Full detail: Where this data comes from

Finicity, LLC is a Utah-based financial-data aggregator and open-finance technology provider acquired by Mastercard in 2020 and now operating as Mastercard Open Banking (US) within Mastercard Open Finance. It is not a chartered bank but a consumer-permissioned data-access and decisioning platform — and an FCRA-regulated consumer reporting agency for its verification products — providing account and transaction aggregation, Verification of Assets/Income/Employment, transaction and cash-flow analysis, statements, and account validation for ACH payments. Finicity is a founding participant in the Financial Data Exchange (FDX), ships FDX-aligned data-sharing APIs, and positions its platform as an enabler of CFPB Section 1033 personal financial data rights.

Open-Finance / API Posture

  • First-party developer portal (confirmed live): https://developer.mastercard.com/open-banking-us/documentation/ — HTTP 200. The legacy Finicity developer surfaces developer.finicity.com and docs.finicity.com both now redirect here.
  • API host (confirmed live): https://api.finicity.com — HTTP 401 (auth-gated; real production host).
  • Authentication: Finicity partner authentication — an application Finicity-App-Key plus Partner ID and Partner Secret are exchanged for a Finicity-App-Token, with consumer permissioning captured through Finicity Connect.
  • OpenAPI / spec provenance: No machine-readable OpenAPI/Swagger specification is publicly downloadable. The documentation landing page is public, but the full API reference and any specification are partner-gated behind Mastercard Developers credentials. No spec was harvested.
  • FDX: Founding participant in the Financial Data Exchange; data sharing is FDX-aligned.
  • CFPB Section 1033: Positioned publicly as an enabler of consumer financial data rights / 1033 open-banking access.
  • Aggregator tier: Finicity is itself an aggregator — for most connected institutions it is the data-access seam, alongside Plaid, MX, Akoya and others.
