Indigo Agriculture

Indigo Agriculture is a Boston-based agriculture-technology company combining microbial seed and foliar treatments (biotrinsic) and on-farm seed treatment hardware (CLIPS) with two large supply-chain programs: Carbon by Indigo, a soil-carbon program that pays growers for verified carbon credits using Indigo's proprietary measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) stack; and Source by Indigo, a Scope-3 program that connects consumer-goods buyers to sustainably grown crops with greenhouse-gas, water, and low-carbon-biofuel outcome reporting. Indigo does not publish a public developer portal; partner and supply-chain integrations are negotiated directly through their team.

Indigo Agriculture publishes 4 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Agriculture, AgTech, Microbials, Soil Carbon, and MRV.

Indigo Agriculture’s developer surface includes GitHub presence, product news, engineering blog, and 4 more developer resources.

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.
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/indigo-ag: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
