AirQtel

AirQtel is a Wellesley, Massachusetts aerial surveillance operator founded in 2021 by Vin Loccisano. It sells ultra-high-resolution real-time aerial imaging as a service, flown from its own fleet of manned aircraft and remotely piloted hardware carrying its proprietary "Looking-Glass" imaging systems, to military, government and commercial customers, and announced a $27M Series A in February 2025 following a prototype launch of the Looking Glass aerial network across four countries. Its only published domain, airqtel.com, hosted a three-page Squarespace brochure site (Home, About, Partner Portal login) with no developer program, API, SDK or machine-readable contract of any kind, and as of 2026-09-19 that domain is no longer registered (NXDOMAIN at every public resolver; Verisign RDAP 404).

AirQtel is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Aerial Surveillance, Aerospace and Defense, Drones, Imaging, and Geospatial.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Government & Public Sector regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

Machine-Readable Contract +18 pts — api_specs includes an OpenAPI document
MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
Machine-Readable Auth +10 pts — a served openid-configuration/oauth-authorization-server carrying `issuer` (served), else the securitySchemes class in the provider OpenAPIs — bound (mutualTLS, DPoP, Signature) > negotiable (oauth2 authorizationCode/clientCredentials, openIdConnect) > bearer (http bearer, apiKey)
Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0

13 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):

Contract Quality scores 0.0 — up to +25.0 composite points
Developer Ergonomics scores 0.0 — up to +20.0 composite points
Access Clarity scores 0.0 — up to +20.0 composite points

Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/airqtel/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/airqtel to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
Drones and Airspace (UAS, UTM, air traffic)	undeclared	-	-	-

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.

  ultra-high-resolution real-time aerial imaging as a service, flown from its own fleet of manned aircraft and remotely piloted
  hardware carrying its proprietary "Looking-Glass" imaging systems, to military, government and commercial customers, and
  announced a $27M Series A in February 2025 following a prototype launch of the Looking Glass aerial network across four
  countries. Its only published domain, airqtel.com, hosted a three-page Squarespace brochure site (Home, About, Partner Portal

x-domain-note: airqtel.com is the domain AirQtel published in its own 2025-02-23 Series A release (website www.airqtel.com,
  media contact @airqtel.com). On 2026-09-19 airqtel.com and www.airqtel.com return NXDOMAIN from 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8 and 9.9.9.9
  (no A, NS or MX), and Verisign's .com RDAP answers 404 for the name while answering 200 for a control domain, so the registration
  itself has lapsed rather than the site going dark. The Wayback Machine holds a live Squarespace site through 2025-12-27.
  No shutdown, acquisition or rebrand announcement was found, so the company's operating status is unknown and it is NOT marked
  defunct; no Website pointer is wired because no host the company controls currently answers, and the Nasdaq Private Market
  listing the harvest stub carried is a trading venue, not the company.

    200 is the Nasdaq Private Market venue listing the harvest stub carried, which is not the company.
