EcoFlow

EcoFlow is a portable power and home energy-storage company known for its Delta and River portable power stations, PowerStream balcony micro-inverter, Power Kits, smart generators, whole-home backup systems and solar panels. For developers it operates the EcoFlow IoT Open Platform (developer.ecoflow.com), an HTTP + MQTT API that lets applications discover the EcoFlow devices bound to a user account, read live device telemetry ("quota" property values such as battery state of charge, input/output watts, temperatures and switch states), send device function commands, and stream real-time updates over MQTT. Access is authenticated with an accessKey / secretKey pair from the developer console and an HMAC-SHA256 request signature. The platform serves both a global/US region (api.ecoflow.com) and a separate Europe region (api-e.ecoflow.com), reflecting EcoFlow's strict per-region account separation.

agent native

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 EcoFlow the way a machine reads it — 8 machine-readable artifacts across 3 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 — EcoFlow scores 40.3/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 71/100 (agent native). 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 EcoFlow

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for EcoFlow. 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 3

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.

EcoFlow Devices API

Device discovery and binding

EcoFlow MQTT API

Obtain MQTT streaming/command certificate

EcoFlow Quota API

Read device property (quota) values and send device function commands

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.

Event Specifications 1

Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

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.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
