Nexar

Nexar is a physical-AI infrastructure company that operates one of the largest real-world video driving datasets — over 1.2 billion miles of driving captured each year by more than 350,000 connected dashcams — and turns it into training data, collision-prediction models and real-time road intelligence for autonomous-vehicle, ADAS, mapping and smart-city programs. Its developer-facing surface is the CityStream™ family of REST APIs, published as four OpenAPI 3.0.1 contracts on the Nexar Developers Portal: VirtualCam (anonymized road frames), Live Feed (real-time detections), Work Zones (curated construction-zone detections, served as WZDx and GeoJSON) and Road Inventory (curated traffic-sign and road-asset detections). All four run on a single gRPC-gateway backed host and are authorized with a bearer access token minted through Nexar's Okta authorization server. Nexar also publishes the open-source BADAS collision-prediction model on PyPI and the `nap` platform CLI through its own Homebrew tap.

Nexar publishes 6 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including CityStream™ Live Feed API V4 API, Get a collection of road signs API, Get a collection of work zones API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Company, Mapping, Geospatial, Transportation, and Computer Vision.

The Nexar catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Nexar’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, signup flow, support, engineering blog, authentication, CLI, and 30 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 applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% 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):

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
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document
Typed Event Surface +6 pts — AsyncAPI document, OR webhooks/callbacks objects in the as-published OpenAPI, OR common[].type includes Webhooks
Documented Reversibility +6 pts — a reversal operation in the contract, graded up when a window is documented too
Agentic Commerce Well-Known Document +5 pts — a parsing /.well-known/ucp.json or acp.json declaring a version and at least one service, OR (0.27) a live x402 payment challenge from _data/x402-adoption.json — `self` when its endpoints are on the provider's own domain, `platform` when they are on a vendor's

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
Autonomous Vehicles (self-driving testing, deployment, robotaxi service)	undeclared	-	-	-
ONVIF Video Analytics (video surveillance, edge cameras, computer vision)	undeclared	-	-	-
Overture Maps Foundation (members + data contributors)	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.

Standards implemented 3

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
