Replica

Replica is a San Francisco-based data platform for the built environment, spun out of Alphabet's Sidewalk Labs in 2019, that operates a nationwide activity-based travel model. Its analytical engine combines public data (US Census/ACS, GTFS transit feeds, OpenStreetMap road networks, land-use records, state traffic counts) with licensed private data (de-identified aggregate mobile location, credit transaction and driving-behavior data) to synthesize a privacy-preserving simulated population and a complete trip table for the United States. Products include Places (seasonal, high-fidelity activity-based travel model), Trends (weekly near-real-time mobility and land-use data), Safety Hub, Safe Streets Planner, and a suite of workflow applications used by state DOTs, MPOs, transit agencies, cities and counties. Data is consumed through the Replica Studio web platform, CSV export and direct database access; Replica publishes documented dataset schemas at documentation.replicahq.com but no public developer REST API, SDK or developer portal.

Replica is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Data, Mobility, Transportation, and Geospatial.

Replica’s developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, changelog, and 37 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Government & Public Sector 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):

Machine-Readable Contract +18 pts — api_specs includes an OpenAPI document Ask about this →
Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author Ask about this →
Machine-Readable Auth +10 pts — a served openid-configuration/oauth-authorization-server carrying `issuer` (served), else the securitySchemes class in the provider OpenAPIs — bound (mutualTLS, DPoP, Signature) > negotiable (oauth2 authorizationCode/clientCredentials, openIdConnect) > bearer (http bearer, apiKey) Ask about this →
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) Ask about this →
Stable Error Semantics +8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes Ask about this →

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/replica/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/replica to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.

Standards implemented 2

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.
