Drillinginfo

Drillinginfo (now Enverus) is an Austin, Texas energy-technology company that provides AI-powered analytics and the most comprehensive dataset across oil and gas, power, renewables, and financial markets. Its Direct Access / Developer API (rebranded from Drillinginfo Direct Access to the Enverus Developer API) gives subscribers programmatic, read-only access to well, production, completion, permit, rig, wellbore, lease, and producing-entity datasets for import into data warehouses and internal applications. The API is token-authenticated (secret key in v3, client credentials plus API key in v2), returns JSON, and paginates via RFC 5988 Link headers. An official Python client (enverus-developer-api) handles authentication, token management, pagination, and retries. Enverus serves over 8,000 companies across the energy value chain.

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 Drillinginfo the way a machine reads it — 5 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 — Drillinginfo scores 31.8/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 21/100 (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 Drillinginfo

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

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.

Model Context Protocol servers that expose these APIs to AI agents.

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.
