Soda

Soda is a data quality and data observability platform for the modern data stack. Its core abstraction is the data contract — a declarative YAML source of truth that defines the checks a dataset must pass — extended by organization-wide data standards, ML-based metric monitors for anomaly detection, record-level diagnostics, lineage and impact analysis, and AI-assisted contract generation (Contract Autopilot and Copilot). Soda ships an open-source engine (Soda Core), a Go CLI for the whole platform (sodacli), a 103-operation Soda Cloud v4 REST API, a webhook event surface, and a first-party MCP server that exposes 78 tools so agents can manage data quality directly. Soda Data Inc. is headquartered in Belgium.

Soda publishes 16 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Cloud API v4, Attributes API, Checks API, and 13 more. Tagged areas include AIOps, Data Quality, Data Observability, Data Contracts, and Data Governance.

The Soda catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Soda’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 31 more developer resources.

Kin Score

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-09-14 · rubric v0.22.0
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.
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/soda-data: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
