GridPoint
GridPoint is a Reston, Virginia clean-technology company, founded in 2003, that builds energy management and sustainability systems for commercial buildings, enterprises and government agencies. It combines its own edge hardware — EC2000 and Edge controllers, submeters, thermostats, lighting control panels and BACnet/Modbus gateways — with the cloud-based GridPoint Energy Manager analytics platform, delivering HVAC and lighting automation, equipment-level submetering, refrigeration monitoring, demand management, grid services and carbon/sustainability reporting for multi-site portfolios in retail, convenience, restaurant, automotive and public-sector estates. GridPoint sells the platform as a subscription service and integrates with existing building assets rather than requiring a rip-and-replace. It operates a customer application, a partner commissioning channel and a public knowledge base, but publishes no developer portal, no API reference and no machine-readable API contract; the only machine-readable artifacts it serves anonymously are the OpenID Connect discovery and JWKS documents of its own authorization server.
Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.
API Evangelist profiles GridPoint the way a machine reads it — 5 machine-readable artifacts, 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 — GridPoint scores 29.6/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 12/100 (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.
Why this profile is thin
GridPoint has no developer surface at all — developer/docs/api.gridpoint.com do not resolve and knowledge.gridpoint.com is hardware troubleshooting — yet its own ORY Hydra authorization server anonymously advertises the client_credentials grant plus ROLE_PARTNER_* and ROLE_SYSTEM scopes, so the API exists and is reachable only by an authenticated customer or commissioning partner.
An API exists — we simply could not reach the contract without credentials or a sales conversation. This one is GridPoint's to change: publishing the reference and a machine-readable spec at a public URL, while keeping key issuance behind whatever gate they like, would let an integrator evaluate the API before committing to a call.

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

RATE LIMITSSecurity 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.
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals.
Scopes 1
OAuth scopes are the vocabulary of least-privilege access. Profiling them shows exactly what an integration — or an agent acting on a user's behalf — is allowed to do.

This is an independent, third-party profile of GridPoint, 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.
