LeoLabs

LeoLabs is a commercial space situational awareness company that operates a global network of phased-array radars and a cloud analytics platform delivering what it calls Persistent Orbital Intelligence for low Earth orbit. It independently tracks more than 23,000 objects in LEO and turns those radar observations into a commercial catalog, orbital state vectors, conjunction alerts, maneuver detection, pattern-of-life analysis and launch support for satellite operators, insurers, defense and civil space agencies. Customers reach the data either through the LeoLabs Platform web interface or, as LeoLabs describes it, "a suite of full-featured RESTful APIs for ground system integration and automation at scale" — the v1 Platform API over the catalog, radar measurements, state vectors, TLEs, ephemeris propagation and radar tasking. The company is backed by Insight Partners.

LeoLabs publishes 2 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network: Catalog API and Instruments API. Tagged areas include Company, Space, Satellite, Space Situational Awareness, and Space Traffic Management.

LeoLabs’ developer surface includes documentation, signup flow, engineering blog, support, authentication, CLI, and 18 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/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Rate-Limit Signaling +7 pts — OpenAPI responses document X-RateLimit-* / RateLimit headers (verified), else a rate_limits artifact or RateLimits link (documented)
Typed Event Surface +6 pts — AsyncAPI document, OR webhooks/callbacks objects in the as-published OpenAPI, OR common[].type includes Webhooks

7 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):

Contract Quality scores 14.1 — up to +21.5 composite points
Access Clarity scores 34.2 — up to +13.2 composite points
Operational Transparency scores 10.5 — up to +11.6 composite points

Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.

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 the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/leo-labs/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/leo-labs to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.

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
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.
