Show HN: iOS Screen Time from a REST API
Full LLM thinking from the 4-phase benchmark pipeline.

"service_type": "platform",
"base_url": "https://www.thescreentimenetwork.com/api",
"auth_method": "api_key",
"auth_config": {
"header": "Authorization",
"scheme": "Bearer",
"description": "Likely requires an API key or token. As of now, no public documentation is available, but the platform is designed to provide REST API access to iOS Screen Time data."
},
"endpoints": [],
"pricing_model": {
"type": "freemium",
"details": {
"free_tier": "Possibly a limited free tier for basic usage",
"paid_tier": "Subscription-based for full access, likely similar to Clearspace's pricing model",
"note": "No public pricing information found; inferred from business model of Clearspace Technologies."
}
},
"rate_limits": {},
"capabilities": [
"Provides REST API access to iOS Screen Time data",
"Extracts screen time usage metrics from iOS devices",
"Offers programmatic control and monitoring of device usage",
"Integration with Clearspace, a digital wellness platform",
"May support device management and automated workflows",
"Potential for analytics and reporting on digital habits"
],
"raw_analysis": "The Screen Time Network is a service by Clearspace Technologies Inc. that exposes iOS Screen Time data via a REST API. The service is presented as a Show HN project, indicating early-stage or developer-oriented release. The API likely enables developers to access screen time statistics for iOS devices, possibly for building custom wellness apps, parental controls, or productivity tools. The base URL is 'https://www.thescreentimenetwork.com/api', and the authentication likely requires an API key, though no explicit documentation is provided on the page. The platform appears to be in its early stages, with limited public information. Integration with Clearspace suggests a focus on digital wellness. The pricing model is unknown but likely follows a freemium or subscription model. As the project is new, the API may be subject to change, and developers should expect evolving endpoints and capabilities."

"issues": [
"No documentation for API endpoints, authentication, or data schemas found — critical for agent integration",
"No llms.txt file — site serves HTML for all paths, including /llms.txt, suggesting no agent-friendly content",
"Capabilities are inferred from Clearspace context, but not explicitly documented on the platform itself",
"No clear onboarding flow or developer portal mentioned",
"REST API access to iOS Screen Time data is likely restricted to iOS devices with special permissions, unclear setup",
"No error handling or status codes documented — agent cannot debug issues",
"robots.txt check returned HTML, meaning no robots.txt file is configured",
"No authentication method documented (OAuth, API keys, etc.)"
],
"recommendations": [
"Provide a dedicated developer documentation page with API endpoints, request/response examples, and error codes",
"Add an llms.txt file with structured platform description, capabilities, and integration guides for AI agents",
"Publish clear authentication documentation (API keys, OAuth flow) and signup process",
"Create a getting-started guide with minimal viable example for agents to test",
"Document rate limits, data availability, and device requirements clearly",
"Add a status page and uptime information to build trust",
"Expose a public API reference (OpenAPI/Swagger) for machine-readable integration"
