Thought Machine

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

Thought Machine is a London-headquartered cloud-native core banking technology company founded in 2014 by Paul Taylor, with offices in New York and Singapore. It builds Vault Core, a universal product engine in which every banking product is expressed as a developer-written smart contract executed against a real-time ledger, and Vault Payments, a cloud-native payments processing platform that natively represents payments as ISO 20022 messages.

API surface

API Product Style
Core API Vault Core REST — external integrations (channels, CRM, operator UI)
Posting API Vault Core financial movements against the real-time ledger
Streaming API Vault Core Kafka — accounting, balance and customer events
Migration API Vault Core Kafka — bulk legacy core data loads
Contracts API Vault Core smart contract functions
Vault Payments APIs Vault Payments REST + real-time streaming

Base URLs are per-deployment (SaaS tenant or bank-hosted cluster) and are not published publicly.

What the enrichment pass found (2026-08-02)

No public machine-readable contract. Probed /openapi.json, /openapi.yaml, /swagger.json, /api-docs, /docs, /redoc and /asyncapi.yaml against www., docs., portal. and api. hosts. Every path on the documentation host answers 302 to the auth.thoughtmachine.net SSO flow; api.thoughtmachine.net does not resolve. No GraphQL endpoint, no MCP server, and no A2A agent card (/.well-known/agent-card.json and /.well-known/agent.json miss on every host — no a2a/ artifact was written).

What is anonymously observable and captured here:

  • well-known/ — full probe record; the OIDC discovery document for the Vault portal identity provider (Authentik) is real and saved verbatim. The only security.txt found is the upstream Authentik product default (expired, points at security@goauthentik.io) — it is not a Thought Machine disclosure policy and no SecurityTxt/Security pointer was wired from it.
  • authentication/ + scopes/ — the OIDC/OAuth 2.0 profile of the portal SSO (authorization_code + PKCE S256, client_credentials, device_code; scopes openid, email, profile, entitlements, role). Scoped explicitly to the portal, not the Vault data APIs.
  • sandbox/ — the TM Sandbox APIs / TM Sandbox Environment programme, access by application form under published terms.
  • conformance/ — ISO 27001, AICPA SOC 2 and ISO 22301 accreditation badges published in the site footer (each verified visually); ISO 20022 native in Vault Payments; OAuth 2.0 / OIDC / PKCE probed.
  • lifecycle/ — annual major-release cadence and the Contracts Language API v3→v4 deprecation path (third-party partner evidence; Thought Machine's own release notes are gated). No public status page and no published deprecation policy — absence recorded, so no StatusPage/Deprecation pointers.
  • asyncapi/ — the Kafka streaming event surface. No AsyncAPI document and no HTTP webhooks, so the Webhooks pointer was deliberately withheld.
  • security/ — probed TLS/HSTS/DNSSEC/CAA/SPF/DMARC. No vulnerability disclosure programme and no trust centre found.
  • llms/ — generated (no provider-published /llms.txt).

No public first-party client SDKs exist. The thought-machine GitHub org publishes engineering tooling (the Please build system, Dracon, Prometheus exporters, a Go ISO 20022 message library) rather than Vault API clients, so no packages//SDKs pointer was emitted.
