Aptos

Aptos is a Move-based Layer 1 blockchain platform that exposes a REST API for reading on-chain state and submitting transactions, a GraphQL Indexer API for high-level queries over processed blockchain data (NFTs, objects, custom Move contracts), and a gRPC Transaction Stream for real-time and historical event feeds. Public endpoints are provided by Aptos Labs for mainnet, testnet, and devnet; enhanced rate limits are available through Geomi (formerly Aptos Labs Developer Portal).

agent aware

Solid contracts, transparent operations, and an easy start — typically complete on four or five facets with one clear soft spot.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Aptos the way a machine reads it — 246 machine-readable artifacts across 10 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 — Aptos scores 63.1/100 (strong), with a separate agent-readiness read of 39/100 (agent aware). 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 Aptos

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Aptos. 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 10

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.

GraphQL 1

Where a provider ships GraphQL, the schema is the contract. We profile it alongside the REST surface so the whole interface is legible in one place.

Pricing 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.

Rate 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.

FinOps 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.

Features 5

Notable capabilities this provider offers.

Move-based smart contracts

Aptos uses the Move language for safe, resource-oriented smart contracts and on-chain modules.

REST and GraphQL APIs

Dual API surface — low-level REST for nodes and high-level GraphQL for indexed blockchain data.

gRPC transaction streaming

Real-time and historical transaction event feeds via gRPC for custom indexers and processors.

Multi-network support

Public mainnet, testnet, and devnet endpoints with consistent API surfaces across all three.

Usage-based API access via Geomi

Compute-unit metered access with $10-$100/month free credit; no locked tiers.

Semantic Vocabularies 2

JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.

JSON Schema 188

Standalone JSON Schema definitions describe the data models behind the API. We profile them so the shapes are validatable on their own — useful long after a single request is forgotten.

Security Posture 1

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.

Use Cases 5

What developers actually build with this provider — captured so the catalogue answers 'what is this for', not just 'what does this expose'.

What developers build with this provider.

DeFi protocol development

Query account balances, fungible asset positions, and submit swap/liquidity transactions on-chain.

NFT marketplace integration

Use the Indexer GraphQL API to surface token collections, ownership history, and transfer events.

Custom blockchain indexers

Subscribe to the Transaction Stream gRPC feed to build application-specific event processors.

Wallet and portfolio apps

Fetch account resources, module states, and transaction history via the Fullnode REST API.

Testing and prototyping
