Zendrive

Zendrive Inc. was a San Francisco mobility risk intelligence company that turned an ordinary smartphone into a telematics sensor. Its product was a mobile SDK, not an HTTP API: an app embedded the Zendrive SDK, which automatically detected the start and end of every drive, collected accelerometer, gyroscope and GPS data with minimal battery impact, raised in-process callbacks for trip and collision events, and uploaded the drive for scoring. Fleets, rideshare operators and auto insurers consumed the resulting analytics — collision detection and severity, distracted driving, speeding, star ratings — through a dashboard and an Analytics REST API, with rideshare insurance-period modelling and a US/EU data-residency selector. Intuit acquired Zendrive's technology for Credit Karma's Karma Drive in 2024 and the developer program was shut down: as probed 2026-09-05 every Zendrive host is dead. Only the SDK reference, sample apps and published packages survive.

Zendrive is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Telematics, Mobility, Insurance, and Automotive.

Zendrive’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, changelog, authentication, sandbox, and 11 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Insurance 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.
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/zendrive: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

x-domain-note: 'zendrive.com and www.zendrive.com have NO A/AAAA record — the zone is still on Cloudflare nameservers and
  still carries Google Workspace MX records, but nothing answers on HTTP. developers.zendrive.com, app.zendrive.com, api.zendrive.com,
  iql.zendrive.com and status.zendrive.com are NXDOMAIN. docs.zendrive.com is a dangling Cloudflare CNAME and returns HTTP
  403 with the 17-byte body "error code: 1014" on every path, including every /.well-known/ and spec path. None of those 403s
  is a document. No Website pointer is wired, because the company has no live site; the Forge Global secondary-market listing
  that seeded this record is kept under x-harvest-source-url rather than as a Website, since a trading venue page is not a
  company web presence. See well-known/zendrive-well-known.yml.'
