INRIX

INRIX is a Kirkland, Washington-based transportation analytics company that turns anonymized GPS probe data from connected vehicles, mobile devices and fleets into real-time and historical road intelligence for automakers, cities, departments of transportation, retailers and app developers. Its developer surface is organized around the INRIX IQ platform and documented at docs.inrix.com, spanning Traffic APIs (segment speed, safety alerts/incidents, traffic tiles, routing, drive time polygons, traffic cameras, dangerous slowdowns, fuel stations and TPEG Connect), Parking APIs (INRIX Parking Services 3.0, formerly ParkMe: lots, blocks, occupancy and probability, destinations and reservations), Analytics APIs (trade area trips, trip trends, visits, dangerous roads and Roadway Analytics), Signals intersection analytics, a Data Download Service for map and XD network releases, and data-upload streams for GPS, XFCD and parking events. All access is brokered through the INRIX User Accounts System (UAS), which exchanges an appId and a SHA-1 hashToken for a bearer access token used across every product API.

agent aware

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles INRIX the way a machine reads it — 24 machine-readable artifacts across 18 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 — INRIX scores 49.8/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 33/100 (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 INRIX

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for INRIX. 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 18

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.

INRIX User Accounts System (UAS) API

Authentication and account service for the entire INRIX platform. Exchanges an appId plus a SHA-1 hashToken (or OAuth2 client credentials) for a bearer access token, and manages...

INRIX Parking API (INRIX Parking Services 3.0 / ParkMe)

On-street and off-street parking data: parking lots and city blocks, rates and hours, real-time and historical occupancy and probability, open spots from the Utilization Sensing...

INRIX Signals Analytics API

Traffic-signal and intersection analytics served from the INRIX IQ backend: intersection metrics, intersection metadata, metrics availability, and namespace management for custo...

INRIX Segment Speed API

Real-time, historical and predicted speed, travel time and reference speed for INRIX XD and TMC road segments, queried by bounding box, radius, point, segment set or corridor.

INRIX Safety Alerts (Incidents) API

Roadway incident, construction, flow, event and hazard alerts within a bounding box, radius or along a route, with TMC and OpenLR location referencing and TPEG-style event codes.

INRIX Traffic Tiles API

Pre-rendered raster traffic tiles for map overlays, addressed by quadkey and rendered from live INRIX speed data.

INRIX Fuel Stations API

Fuel station locations, brands, amenities and current fuel prices by grade, searchable by bounding box, radius or station identifier.

INRIX Dangerous Slowdowns API

Open Collections 3

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.

Open, tool-agnostic API collections (OpenAPI-derived and Bruno).

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.

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.

Where this information came from

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