Andes

Andes (Andes Ag, Inc.) is a climate-technology and agricultural-biotechnology company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Alameda, California. Andes engineers and selects beneficial soil microorganisms that are applied alongside seed in commodity row-crop production — corn, soybean, wheat and canola — where they accelerate the natural conversion of atmospheric carbon dioxide into stable soil inorganic carbon (carbonate minerals), a process the company calls Microbial Carbon Mineralization. Andes sells the resulting durable carbon dioxide removal as verified credits to corporate buyers and Scope 3 programs, and pays participating growers through the Andes Carbon Program. The company published the first Microbial Carbon Mineralization methodology, developed with EcoEngineers under ISO 14064, and has run field trials with Bayer, Cargill, Corteva, Nutrien and Wilbur-Ellis. Andes has raised roughly $38M, including a Series A co-led by Leaps by Bayer and Cavallo Ventures, and its shares trade on private secondary venues including EquityZen and Nasdaq Private Market. Andes publishes no public API, developer portal, SDK or machine-readable specification.

Andes is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Climate, Carbon Removal, Agriculture, and AgTech.

Andes’ developer surface includes engineering blog, support, and 6 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) 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/.

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 github.com/api-evangelist/andes: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

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.
