Kinetica

Kinetica is a GPU-accelerated, real-time analytical database that unifies relational (SQL), vector, graph, geospatial, time-series and OLAP workloads in a single query engine, aimed at applications needing millisecond-latency analytics over continuously streaming data. Grown out of a GPU-accelerated geospatial and temporal engine built for U.S. Army Intelligence (INSCOM) in 2009, it is deployed today as the retrieval and reasoning layer behind AI agents and LLM-powered systems. The database is consumed through a POST-only JSON REST API (/execute/sql, /show/table, /insert/records/json, /filter/*, /aggregate/*, /match/graph and friends) served from each deployment on port 9191, plus first-party client libraries for Python, Java, C++, C#, JavaScript/Node.js and Go, JDBC/ODBC drivers, and the KiSQL command-line client. For agents, Kinetica publishes an A2A agent card and an installable Agent Skills package on its documentation host, and ships Toolbelt — an OAuth-protected hosted MCP server exposing toolbelt_* tools for SQL, vector search, graph traversal, schema introspection and ingest-job inspection.

Kinetica publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Database, Analytics, gpu-acceleration, Real-Time Analytics, and Vector Search.

Kinetica’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 27 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/.

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