Base Operations

Base Operations provides street-level threat intelligence for corporate, government, and law-enforcement security teams. Its platform validates crime, violence, unrest, and sUAS-incursion data from 25,000+ OSINT sources across 5,000+ global cities (99% of the US) and distills it into BaseScore, a transparent 0-100 risk metric comparable at country, city, district, and sub-mile (0.1 mile) granularity. The Customer API exposes BaseScore ratings, threat summaries, time-series trends, forecasting, change analysis, and saved locations over a REST interface authenticated with an X-API-KEY header, returning JSON so teams can integrate standardized risk scores directly into their own risk models, travel-security, event-security, and site-selection workflows.

Base Operations publishes 12 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Analytics API, Base Score API, Change Detection API, and 9 more. Tagged areas include Company, Threat Intelligence, Security, Risk Management, and Physical Security.

Base Operations’ developer surface includes documentation, API reference, pricing, signup flow, support, engineering blog, authentication, and 18 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
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/base-operations: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
