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

8x8, Inc. is a San Jose, California headquartered cloud communications provider that sells an integrated UCaaS, CCaaS and CPaaS platform (marketed as XCaaS) to business buyers in its home market of the United States and internationally. In the telecom value chain 8x8 sits in the aggregator half of the market, not the mobile network operator half: it does not own radio spectrum, and it resells carrier voice and messaging connectivity while adding contact center, unified communications, video (it owns and operates Jitsi as a Service) and analytics on top. Its API posture is genuinely developer-first for a company of its size — developer.8x8.com is a real self-serve portal, sign-up runs through the 8x8 Connect console, and the entire documentation site including 34 OpenAPI 3.x definitions is published openly on GitHub at 8x8Cloud/public-developer-docs. What 8x8 does not do is the network-API layer: there is no CAMARA reference, no GSMA Open Gateway participation, no Aduna channel, no TM Forum Open API conformance and no CIBA anywhere in its public developer corpus. 8x8 competes with Twilio, Vonage and Sinch on application-layer communications APIs, and buys the underlying network access rather than exposing it.

Telecom Standards Posture

  • CAMARA: no CAMARA reference found. A full-corpus grep of 8x8's own public developer documentation repository (github.com/8x8Cloud/public-developer-docs, 2,342 files, cloned 2026-07-25) returns zero matches for "camara", "open gateway", "sim swap", "silent auth", "network exposure function" or "network slicing". 8x8 does not claim CAMARA and does not implement it.
  • GSMA Open Gateway: not a participant. No Aduna channel evidenced.
  • TM Forum Open APIs: no conformance certification evidenced; zero TMF references in the corpus.
  • 3GPP exposure: none — no NEF/SCEF, no network slicing, no edge/MEC API.
  • Where 8x8 actually sits: the CPaaS/UCaaS aggregator half of the telecom split. It resells carrier connectivity and publishes an application-layer API surface on top of it.

Developer Surface

  • Developer portal: https://developer.8x8.com/ — HTTP 200, real self-serve Docusaurus portal, not a login wall.
  • Sign-up: https://connect.8x8.com/ — HTTP 200.
  • Portal source + specs: github.com/8x8Cloud/public-developer-docs — 34 OpenAPI 3.x definitions under docs_oas/, all harvested verbatim into openapi/.
  • Auth: HTTP bearer tokens (CPaaS), x-api-key / 8x8-apikey headers (Administration, Analytics), OAuth2 client-credentials at https://api.8x8.com/oauth/v2/token (Contact Center Analytics), HTTP basic (legacy Contact Center), RS256 JWT (JaaS). No OIDC, no CIBA.
  • Events: VSS / VCA / VCS voice webhooks, plus 8x8 Event Streaming over an Apache Pulsar WebSocket proxy. No AsyncAPI published.
  • SDKs: Voice SDK for Android and iOS, JaaS mobile SDKs, Jitsi IFrame API. No first-party REST client on npm or PyPI.
  • GraphQL / gRPC / public Postman workspace: none found.
