Toucan

Toucan builds digital infrastructure for carbon credit markets, providing the rails for buying, selling, and retiring carbon credits on-chain. Its Carbon Bridge tokenizes credits from registries like Puro Earth into TCO2 tokens, carbon pools such as CHAR (biochar) bundle credits into liquid reference tokens, and retirement certificates prove offsets on-chain. Developers build on Toucan through audited smart contracts on Base, Celo, and Polygon, the toucan-sdk JavaScript/TypeScript SDK, and GraphQL subgraphs served through The Graph on six networks.

Toucan is listed with 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Planetary Health, Carbon Credits, Climate, and Web3.

Toucan’s developer surface includes engineering blog, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, sandbox, authentication, and 15 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health 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/.

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

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
Carbon Markets and Environmental Services (carbon removal, waste, mining)	undeclared	-	-	-

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.

Standards implemented 1

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.

tagged — the provider's own APIs.json carries the standard as a tag; implementation not verified

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.
