AST SpaceMobile

AST SpaceMobile (NASDAQ, ASTS) is a United States satellite operator building the SpaceMobile Network, a space-based cellular broadband constellation of BlueBird satellites carrying the largest commercial phased-array antennas in low Earth orbit, designed to deliver 4G and 5G directly to standard, unmodified smartphones. It sits upstream of the retail telecom market as a wholesale coverage layer, not a consumer brand, not a CPaaS: signals from a handset are relayed by satellite to a small number of in-country ground gateways, which compensate for Doppler and delay and then hand the traffic into a mobile network operator's core, where the operator completes the call and bills the subscriber. Distribution runs entirely through partner carriers, with agreements covering nearly 60 mobile network operators serving over 3 billion subscribers, including AT&T, Verizon, Vodafone, Rakuten, Bell, TELUS and stc, plus strategic investment from Google and American Tower. Its API posture is that of a satellite infrastructure company rather than a network-API publisher, honestly assessed as none: as of July 2026 AST SpaceMobile publishes no developer portal, no API documentation, no OpenAPI, no SDKs and no public network-API surface. Probes of developer, developers, docs, api and opengateway subdomains and the corresponding site paths all fail to resolve or return 404, and no CAMARA, GSMA Open Gateway, TM Forum or 3GPP NEF exposure claim appears anywhere on ast-science.com or in its press releases. Any programmable access to SpaceMobile capacity reaches developers only indirectly, through the partner carrier that owns the subscriber relationship and the network APIs.

human only

Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles AST SpaceMobile the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, 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 — AST SpaceMobile scores 11.4/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). 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 AST SpaceMobile

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for AST SpaceMobile. 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.

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.
