Skycatch built spatial data capture, processing, and analytics for mining and construction sites, turning drone and aerial imagery into high-precision 3D data, volumetrics, and AI-driven site insights. Its products included Spatial Sight, Spatial DataHub (datahub.skycatch.com), and EdgeServer for on-site edge processing. Skycatch was acquired by Caterpillar Inc. on July 7, 2026 (following Caterpillar's RPMGlobal acquisition) to expand its mining technology capabilities. A developer platform exists at docs.skycatch.com but is password-gated, and no public API specification is available. Originally surfaced as a GV (Google Ventures) portfolio company.
Skycatch is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Frontier Tech, Drones, Aerial Imagery, and Geospatial.
Skycatch’s developer surface includes documentation and 3 more developer resources.
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.
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/skycatch: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
