TensorDock operates a global GPU cloud marketplace that connects independent hardware hosts with customers needing affordable on-demand and spot GPU compute. The platform exposes two REST APIs — the original Marketplace API (v0) at marketplace.tensordock.com and the newer Instances API (v2) at dashboard.tensordock.com — to deploy, manage, and scale virtual machines across 100+ locations in 20+ countries with 42+ GPU models ranging from consumer RTX cards to H100 SXM5. TensorDock targets AI startups, researchers, rendering shops, and gaming services that need cost-effective compute (advertised at up to 80% less than hyperscalers) without quotas or long-term commitments.
TensorDock publishes 9 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Instances API, Secrets API, Authorization API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include GPU, Cloud, Marketplace, Compute, and Virtual Machines.
The TensorDock catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.
TensorDock’s developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, documentation, getting-started guide, developer console, sandbox, signup flow, and 48 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/.

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 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 →
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.
Not sure how this applies to your stack? Ask about any one item. Kin Lane reads every question, looks at your profile and your situation, and replies with what a fix would take — scoped to that one area, priced up front, yours whether you ship it or not. Ask a question →
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.
