Grafana
Grafana Labs builds the open and composable observability stack used by millions of engineers to visualize, query, alert on, and explore their metrics, logs, traces, and profiles. The flagship Grafana OSS dashboarding platform is paired with Grafana Loki (logs), Grafana Mimir (Prometheus-compatible metrics), Grafana Tempo (distributed traces), and Grafana Pyroscope (continuous profiling) — all under the LGTM stack. Grafana Cloud delivers the entire portfolio as a managed SaaS with a generous free tier, while Grafana Enterprise extends self-managed deployments with premium plugins, reporting, RBAC, LBAC, and caching. The ecosystem extends to Grafana k6 (load testing), Grafana Alloy (OpenTelemetry-native collector), Grafana Beyla (eBPF auto-instrumentation), Grafana Faro (frontend observability), Grafana OnCall (incident response), and Synthetic Monitoring. A canonical OpenAPI specification at public/api-merged.json powers the official Go client, the Terraform provider, the Grafana Operator, and a deep dashboards-as-code toolchain (Foundation SDK, Grafonnet, Grizzly, Scenes).
Solid contracts, transparent operations, and an easy start — typically complete on four or five facets with one clear soft spot.
API Evangelist profiles Grafana the way a machine reads it — 97 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, 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 — Grafana scores 64.3/100 (strong), with a separate agent-readiness read of 32/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Why this profile is thin
the company publishes developer documentation but serves no machine-readable contract from it
The documentation is public — a person can read it, but a machine cannot. This one is Grafana's to change: publishing an OpenAPI (or AsyncAPI for events) at a stable URL would make the same surface consumable by a crawler, a linter, and an AI agent.

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. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

How we profile Grafana
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Grafana. 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 49
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.

Pricing 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 things the Kin Score reads for access clarity — renamed from commercial clarity in rubric 0.12, because a free statutory interface has access terms and no commercial ones.
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.
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals.
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.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Grafana, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
