The Sensei Developer Program is request-form gated and covers Sensei Cloud only, with documentation delivered after approval. Legacy SoftDent, PracticeWorks, OrthoTrac, and WinOMS have no API at all; integration means the roughly 28-member Authorized Partner program.

Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
