Frequently asked questions
Carestream Dental (Sensei) scores F on the API Report Card. No public API. 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.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly. Site terms may apply to any integration approach, and how they apply is a determination each team makes for itself.

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.
