DroneDeploy
DroneDeploy is a drone mapping, reality capture, and aerial analytics platform for construction, energy, agriculture, and inspection. Its developer platform is a GraphQL API (endpoint https://www.dronedeploy.com/graphql) that lets Enterprise and Developer Partner accounts query and mutate DroneDeploy data - organizations, projects, map plans, exports, annotations/issues, images, and webhooks - using a single strongly typed, Relay-style (cursor-paginated) schema rooted at the `viewer` object. A set of legacy REST APIs (Map Processing / Map Engine as a Service, Plan API, Export API) also remains available, but DroneDeploy recommends the GraphQL API for most integrations.
More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.
API Evangelist profiles DroneDeploy the way a machine reads it — 13 machine-readable artifacts across 7 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 — DroneDeploy scores 24.4/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 7/100 (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 DroneDeploy
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for DroneDeploy. 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 7
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.
DroneDeploy Projects and Plans API
Query the projects and plans (MapPlan) in an organization through `viewer.organization.plans`/`projects` and the `node(id)` lookup - reading name, location and geometry (lat/lng...
DroneDeploy Maps and Exports API
Generate and retrieve map exports from a MapPlan. The confirmed `createExport(input CreateExportInput!)` mutation takes a planId plus parameters (layer required; projection, mer...

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.

Where a provider ships GraphQL, the schema is the contract. We profile it alongside the REST surface so the whole interface is legible in one place.

GRAPHQLPricing Plans 1
Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.
Published pricing tiers and plan structures.
Rate Limits 1
Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.
Documented rate limits and quota policies.

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

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.
