Integration Ecosystem: Research tools integrations & APIs (2026)
Recorded integration surface for all 56 Research & Analysis tools (channel overall median 81.4/100). Counts are the archive's recorded feature entries per tool — features.length as published, snapshots 2026-09-06 – 2026-09-17. Integration/API classification matches feature names and descriptions containing integration, API, SDK, connector, plugin, extension, webhook or MCP keywords; it is a keyword view of recorded fields, not a capability audit.

Channel total: 235 recorded feature entries across 56 tools; 22 of 56 tools carry at least one integration/API-class entry.
Methodology — counts read only data/tools/<slug>.json features[] as recorded (features.length and name/description keyword classes; snapshots 2026-09-06 – 2026-09-17). No API audit, no undocumented-integration claims, no lab measurements.
