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.txtand 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.
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
Historical API Evangelist record for Spectra (also marketed as Spectra Experiences) — a North American venue management, food services & hospitality, and partnerships company headquartered in Philadelphia, PA. Spectra is no longer an operating brand. Its businesses now trade as OVG360, a division of Oak View Group.
- Operating status: Defunct as a trading brand.
- Domain status:
spectraexperiences.comis dead — DNS / TLS no longer resolves to a live site (verified 2026-05-23). - Successor: OVG360, an Oak View Group division.
- Public developer API: None. Spectra never published an OpenAPI spec, SDK, CLI, developer portal, or sandbox during its operating life. Ticketing was delivered through Paciolan (since divested to Learfield); all other integrations were private enterprise contracts.

"Now that OVG's acquisition of Spectra is complete, we can get down to the business of delivering an expanded highly competitive set of services..." — Tim Leiweke, CEO of Oak View Group (2021-11-15)
Spectra operated three lines of business at the time of acquisition:
- Venue Management — pre-construction consulting, event booking, day-of operations, ticketing, and staffing. Heir to the legacy Global Spectrum brand.
- Food Services & Hospitality — concessions, premium catering, suite service, and culinary operations. Heir to the legacy Ovations Food Services brand.
- Partnerships — property sales, naming rights, sponsorship, hospitality, and strategic consulting. Heir to the legacy Front Row Marketing brand.
All three are now delivered under the OVG360 umbrella, alongside OVG Hospitality, Rhubarb, and Spectrum Catering brands within Oak View Group.
