Dotterel
Dotterel Technologies is an Auckland, New Zealand acoustics and audio-hardware company founded in 2015 out of the Callaghan Innovation C-Prize. It began by solving drone noise, building acoustic shrouds, low-noise propellers, and onboard active audio-recording systems for UAVs used in film, security, and noise mapping. That work led to Konos (now marketed as Konos Digital), an 80-element directional MEMS microphone array with a continuously variable 60-300 degree beam width that streams four channels of AES67 / SMPTE ST 2110 audio over a single Power-over-Ethernet cable, targeting film, broadcast, and live-sports production. The microphone exposes a firmware-updatable on-device HTTP control interface (a web page plus a POST control endpoint for beam steering) rather than a public developer web API. Dotterel is backed by Techstars (Adelaide 2017 cohort) and is tracked here as a hardware company; it publishes no public API specification, SDK, or developer portal.
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 Dotterel 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 — Dotterel scores 9.7/100 (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 Dotterel
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Dotterel. 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.
