SF Compute

SF Compute (San Francisco Compute Company) runs a spot-priced market for very large scale GPU clusters. The api.sfcompute.com REST API lets buyers and sellers place market orders for blocks of H100 GPU-hours, manage tradable cluster contracts, query live market prices, check balances, and provision managed Kubernetes clusters, nodes, and VMs - all driven by the `sf` CLI and language SDKs.

SF Compute publishes 10 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Account API, Balance API, Clusters API, and 7 more. Tagged areas include GPU, Compute, Marketplace, H100, and Spot Pricing.

SF Compute’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, signup flow, pricing, changelog, support, and 14 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/.

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