Derq
Derq is an MIT spinoff (founded 2016, with operations in Dubai and Detroit) building AI-powered intelligent transportation systems that help cities, departments of transportation, and infrastructure operators prevent crashes and improve traffic flow. Its hardware-agnostic platform ingests data from video cameras, radar, LiDAR, signal controllers, and connected/V2X infrastructure, then runs real-time edge computer vision and machine learning to detect, track, and predict the movement of vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. Derq surfaces safety and traffic intelligence — crashes, near misses, violations, conflicts, counts, and ATSPMs — through its dashboard and via APIs to third-party systems. Flagship products include Derq SENSE (real-time traffic detection and V2X perception) and Derq INSIGHT (road safety and traffic management analytics).
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.
API Evangelist profiles Derq 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 — Derq scores 10.2/100 (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 Derq
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Derq. 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.
