Airbus
A European multinational aerospace corporation designing, manufacturing, and selling commercial aircraft, helicopters, defense, and space products. Through its Space Solutions / OneAtlas division Airbus publishes a developer API portal for satellite imagery, mapping, and elevation data.
Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.
API Evangelist profiles Airbus the way a machine reads it — 30 machine-readable artifacts across 7 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Airbus scores 43.6/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 48/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Airbus
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Airbus. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
APIs 7
Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.
OneAtlas Living Library API
Subscription-based catalogue access to Airbus Living Library Pléiades, Pléiades Neo, and SPOT optical imagery for AOI search, preview, and streaming.
OneAtlas Pay-Per-Order Archives API
On-demand purchase of historical archive imagery from Airbus optical and radar constellations on a pay-per-order basis.
OneAtlas Pay-Per-Order Tasking API
On-demand satellite tasking for new imagery acquisitions over a user-defined area of interest, with priority and acquisition-window options.
OneAtlas Basemap API
Global high-resolution basemap tile service derived from Airbus optical imagery, suitable for embedding in GIS and web mapping applications.
OneAtlas Radar & Elevation API
Access to Airbus radar (SAR) imagery and elevation products including WorldDEM, suitable for change detection, surveillance, and terrain analysis.
Airbus Authentication API
The Authentication API from Airbus — 1 operation(s) for authentication.
Airbus Catalog API
The Catalog API from Airbus — 1 operation(s) for catalog.

Open Collections 1
Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.
Open, tool-agnostic API collections (OpenAPI-derived and Bruno).

OPEN COLLECTIONPricing Plans 1
Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.
Published pricing tiers and plan structures.
Airbus Plans Pricing
PLANSRate Limits 1
Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.
Documented rate limits and quota policies.

RATE LIMITSFinOps 1
Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Notable capabilities this provider offers.
Optical Imagery
Access to Pléiades, Pléiades Neo, and SPOT optical imagery via the Living Library catalogue and archive ordering.
Radar Imagery
SAR imagery from the TerraSAR-X / TanDEM-X constellation and from the new Radar Constellation.
Satellite Tasking
Pay-per-order tasking for new imagery acquisitions over a user-defined AOI.
Elevation Products
Global elevation models including WorldDEM derived from Airbus radar interferometry.
Basemap Tile Service
High-resolution global basemap tile service for embedding in GIS and web maps.
API Key + OAuth 2.0
Authentication via per-user API key issued by the OneAtlas account portal with OAuth 2.0 access-token exchange.
Security Posture 3
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals.
Agentic Access 1
An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
Recommended x-agentic-access execution contracts for AI agents.
