Sigfox

Sigfox is the 0G low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) for massive IoT, now operated as a technology by UnaBiz. The Sigfox Cloud exposes a RESTful backend API (base https://api.sigfox.com/v2) for managing devices, device types, contracts, groups, users, base stations, coverage predictions, and for retrieving device messages and configuring callbacks that push uplink data to customer systems. The network reaches 70+ countries and millions of connected devices. The API uses HTTP Basic authentication with API-access credentials scoped by role-based profiles, URI-path versioning (/v2), documented rate limits, and a published OpenAPI specification.

Sigfox is listed with 1 API on the APIs.io network: Cloud API. Tagged areas include Company, Industrial, Energy & Iot, IoT, LPWAN, and Connectivity.

Sigfox’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, signup flow, authentication, and 14 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Telecommunications 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
Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document

9 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

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

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