Lightning Step API
No public API: no developer portal, docs, SDKs, webhooks, or marketplace. Roughly seven vendor-built connectors exist (Availity, Waystar, Twilio, Salesforce among them), each arranged through the company. Any new integration starts with a sales conversation, not an API key.

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.
