Bigeye

Bigeye is an enterprise data observability and AI trust platform that monitors data quality, detects schema changes and anomalies, classifies sensitive data, and maps column-level lineage across warehouses, lakes, BI tools and ETL pipelines. The platform combines automated data quality monitoring, ML-powered anomaly detection and lineage-based root-cause and downstream-impact analysis so teams can find and resolve data issues before they reach dashboards, reports or AI systems. Bigeye is API-first: its REST API is published as three OpenAPI 3.0 definitions (Metadata, Observability and Sensitivity) covering 263 operations, and it ships a first-party Python SDK, a Python CLI, Airflow operators, YAML-based observability-as-code configuration, and a hosted Model Context Protocol gateway that exposes 56 agent tools over the same platform.

Bigeye publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: Metadata API, Observability API, and Sensitivity API. Tagged areas include Company, Data Observability, Data Quality, Data Lineage, and Data Governance.

The Bigeye catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Bigeye’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, signup flow, and 30 more developer resources.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Bigeye, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
