BanQu

BanQu is a Minnetonka, Minnesota supply-chain traceability and sustainability software company whose blockchain-backed (non-crypto, distributed-ledger) platform gives brands farm-to-shelf visibility across agriculture, recycling, apparel, beauty, and mining supply chains. The platform records assets, transfers, transactions, and supplier form data against verifiable identities for smallholder farmers, waste pickers, and other last-mile suppliers, and layers on compliance and reporting products for EUDR due diligence, Extended Producer Responsibility, B-BBEE, Scope 3 carbon accounting, lifecycle assessment, plastic and carbon credits, living income and wage, and anti-forced/child-labour screening. Its production REST API (OpenAPI 3.0.3, 134 paths / 191 operations, served live at https://banqu.app/api/v1/schema) covers authentication and API tokens, profiles and profile sharing, organizations, roles and capabilities, connections, assets and asset categories, transfers, transactions, transformations, payment adjustments, forms and form data entries, attachments, notifications, and three automation surfaces — Smart Contracts, Data Processors, and Validation Workflows.

agent ready

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles BanQu the way a machine reads it — 55 machine-readable artifacts across 25 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 — BanQu scores 36.5/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 34/100 (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 BanQu

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for BanQu. 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 25

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.

Open Collections 26

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.

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

Event Specifications 1

Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

Security Posture 2

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.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of BanQu, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
