Umbra

Umbra is an American space technology company operating a constellation of commercial synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites capable of sub-25cm resolution imaging, day or night and through cloud cover. Its Canopy platform gives customers self-service access to the constellation through both a web application and a public REST API: customers calculate tasking feasibility against targets of interest, submit Tasks to collect new imagery in Spotlight, Dwell or Scan imaging modes, track Task and Collect status through the full collection-downlink-processing-delivery lifecycle, search a STAC-compliant archive catalog of existing imagery, and configure direct data delivery into their own AWS S3 or Google Cloud Storage buckets. Umbra licenses its imagery under CC BY 4.0, publishes open pricing, and runs an open data program.

Umbra publishes 15 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Client Credentials API, Collections API, Collect Metadata API, and 12 more. Tagged areas include Satellite Imagery, Synthetic Aperture Radar, Earth Observation, Geospatial, and Space.

The Umbra catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Umbra’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 29 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):

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
Typed Event Surface +6 pts — AsyncAPI document, OR webhooks/callbacks objects in the as-published OpenAPI, OR common[].type includes Webhooks
Pagination +5 pts — share of collection GETs (an array, or one wrapped in data/items/results ...) that declare a page/limit/offset/cursor parameter, a Link header or a next/cursor field; na with no collection GETs
Protected Resource Metadata +5 pts — a served /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource carrying `resource` (documented), and naming its authorization_servers (verified)

3 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

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

Contract Quality scores 52.7 — up to +11.8 composite points

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.

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
Geospatial and Maps (OGC standards)	regulated	37.8 (thin)	-	-
Space and Satellite (operators, earth observation, ground segment)	regulated	37.8 (thin)	-	-

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 5

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.
