SCORECARD

ExistencePOORNo public REST API, developer portal, or webhooks; the sanctioned surface is a QuickBooks sync plus a curated partner list.
AccessPOORNo self-service API keys or OAuth; integrators are limited to Arborgold's curated partner list.
CoveragePOORJobs, customers, chemical-application history, and AR have no programmatic egress outside the QuickBooks sync.
AuthPOORNo OAuth flow or API-key issuance exists; there is no documented auth surface at all.
Docs & DXPOORNo developer portal or API reference; the Web Leads integration lacks a public spec, webhook signing, or payload schema.
StabilityMIXED
Supergood: Arborgold has an API, but using it means gates, contracts, or workarounds. Ours doesn't: stable endpoints, normalized JSON, managed auth.
