Agriculture in North America
56 agriculture providers across North America, publishing 82 APIs.
Agriculture across North America — 56 providers on the APIs.io network sit in both cohorts, and between them they publish 82 indexed APIs.
24 of the 56 publish at least one machine-readable API; 32 publish nothing indexed at all. That split is the first thing worth reading here — a vertical can be well represented in a market and still have almost no programmable surface.
By Kin Score band: 26 minimal, 16 emerging, 10 thin, and 4 developing.
Leading by rating: University of Minnesota, Piknik.Spot, Economic Research Service, Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA, Agricultural Statistics Service, and 50 more.
Region membership is derived from three explicit signals — a provider tag, a provider-name pattern, or a stated headquarters in the provider’s own description. This is a map of stated headquarters, not of markets served.

Other industries in North America
Agriculture elsewhere
This page is the intersection of two independently computed cohorts:
North America and
Agriculture. A provider appears here only when it is
already a member of both. North America membership is matched on tag, name pattern, stated HQ,
so this is a floor rather than a census — coverage gaps show up here as small numbers, not as absent pages.
Work with this as data
Every region here is available over the APIs.io API and to AI agents over MCP.
