Gro Intelligence

aid: gro-intelligence
name: Gro Intelligence
description: 'Gro Intelligence was a New York- and Nairobi-based agricultural and climate data company, founded in 2014 by
  Sara Menker, that built a global food-and-climate intelligence platform on top of satellite imagery, weather models, government
  statistics and trade data. Its product was a normalized ontology — metrics, items, regions, frequencies, sources and units
  — over hundreds of trillions of data points, exposed through a read-only REST API and an official Python client used by
  traders, insurers, lenders and CPG procurement teams to forecast yield, price and climate risk. The company raised an $85M
  Series B in 2021 and was named to TIME''s 100 most influential companies, then ran out of money, laid off 60% of staff in
  March 2024 and ceased operations that spring; Almanac (formerly Semios) acquired its IP and AI models out of liquidation
  in November 2024. This profile is a historical record: the API host, developer portal and web application no longer resolve,
  and the primary domain is a parked registrar lander.'

  description: 'Read-only REST API over the Gro ontology and its agricultural, climate and trade time series. Every operation
    was an HTTP GET under /v2/, authenticated with a bearer token issued from the Gro web application: ontology lookup and
    search (/v2/metrics, /v2/items, /v2/regions, /v2/frequencies, /v2/sources, /v2/units, /v2/entities/list, /v2/search),
    series discovery (/v2/data_series/list, /v2/stream/data_series/list, /v2/available/sources, /v2/available/time-frequencies,
    /v2/top/{entity_type}), unit handling (/v2/units/allowed), geography (/v2/geocentres) and the data plane (/v2/data, /v2prime/data).
    The service is RETIRED — api.gro-intelligence.com no longer resolves and no credential can be obtained. Recorded here
    from the company''s own published client library, not from a live probe.'

    The host returns NXDOMAIN as of 2026-08-22. It is kept for the historical record and is explicitly not a claim that the
    endpoint is callable.

  reason: defunct
  detail: Gro Intelligence ceased operations in spring 2024 and was liquidated (IP acquired by Almanac, November 2024); its
    API host api.gro-intelligence.com, developer portal developers.gro-intelligence.com and app host app.gro-intelligence.com
    all return NXDOMAIN, and gro-intelligence.com is now a parked GoDaddy lander that answers HTTP 200 with the same 114-byte
    redirect body for every path including /openapi.json and /.well-known/agent-card.json. STEP 0b contract discovery was
    still run in full; the profile is built from the surfaces that survive — the company's public GitHub organization, the
    first-party MIT-licensed groclient library, its dated GitHub releases, and the PyPI/conda-forge listings. No OpenAPI,
    GraphQL SDL, MCP server or A2A agent card was ever published by this company.
