Crate Io

Crate.io is the company behind CrateDB, a distributed SQL database engineered for real-time analytics on large volumes of operational data. CrateDB unifies time-series, JSON/document, full-text search, vector, geospatial, and relational data behind standard SQL, is PostgreSQL wire-protocol compatible, and is built on Lucene for horizontal scalability and sub-second queries over billions of rows. Developers interact with CrateDB through an HTTP SQL endpoint (POST /_sql on port 4200) and with the managed CrateDB Cloud service through the CrateDB Cloud REST API (https://console.cratedb.cloud/api/v2), which manages organizations, projects, clusters, users, roles, subscriptions, and audit logs. Crate.io is a Speedinvest portfolio company; CrateDB Cloud is certified to ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II.

agent aware

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 Crate Io the way a machine reads it — 7 machine-readable artifacts across 2 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 — Crate Io scores 42.3/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 29/100 (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 Crate Io

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Crate Io. 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 2

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.

CrateDB Cloud API

The CrateDB Cloud REST API manages CrateDB Cloud resources — organizations, regions, projects, clusters, products, users, roles, subscriptions, and audit logs. Authentication us...

CrateDB HTTP SQL Endpoint

CrateDB's native developer interface: a JSON-over-HTTP SQL endpoint. Clients POST a JSON body ({"stmt": "...", "args": [...], "bulk_args": [[...]]}) to /_sql (default port 4200)...

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.

Security Posture 4

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.
