Cropio

Cropio was an independent Eastern European farm management and precision agriculture platform (fields, satellite/NDVI imagery, weather, scouting, machinery telematics, and yield) founded in 2013. Syngenta acquired Cropio in September 2019 and folded it into its Cropwise digital agriculture portfolio; the product now operates as Cropwise Operations, and cropio.com redirects to operations.cropwise.com. The original Cropio API v3 was not shut down - it continues to run as the documented Cropwise Operations Platform API v3, reachable at operations.cropwise.com/api/v3 (the legacy cropio.com/api/v3 host has redirected there since April 1, 2022). It is a per-account HTTP JSON REST API (not a self-serve developer marketplace) - a Cropwise Operations login is required to obtain a USER_API_TOKEN, and there is no published self-signup API key flow or API-specific price list. Syngenta separately launched a broader "Cropwise Open Platform" for partners in 2025, which is a distinct, newer developer program outside the scope of this entry.

Cropio is listed with 7 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Agriculture, AgTech, Precision Agriculture, Farm Management, and Satellite Imagery.

Cropio’s developer surface includes documentation and 7 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/.

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
Agriculture and Food (Farm Data, Nutrition)	undeclared	-	-	-
Space and Satellite (operators, earth observation, ground segment)	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.
