Li Industries
Li Industries is a critical battery materials company developing next-generation lithium-ion battery recycling and closed-loop materials production technology. Its patented direct recycling process separates and purifies electrode components from spent lithium-ion batteries — including lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistries — to produce commercial-grade cathode active material without the environmental cost and poor economics of conventional smelting or hydrometallurgical routes. The company serves battery manufacturers, cathode producers, recyclers and battery collection operations, and in 2024 was selected for a $55 million U.S. Department of Energy award under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to advance closed-loop LFP recycling and manufacturing. Li Industries is headquartered in Pineville, North Carolina, with an engineering center in Charlotte, North Carolina and an R&D center in Blacksburg, Virginia. It is a materials and manufacturing company: it ships physical battery material, not software, and publishes no public API, SDK or developer program.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles Li Industries the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, 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 — Li Industries scores 3.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (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.
Why this profile is thin
Li Industries manufactures physical lithium-ion battery cathode material and recycling equipment — its entire public web presence is an 8-URL Webflow marketing site (home, about, careers, team, press, two press posts and one job listing, per its own sitemap.xml) with no developer, docs or API page, no GitHub organization, and no api/developer/docs/app/portal subdomain in DNS.
This is an honest zero, not a gap in our research. Li Industries does not appear to expose an API, so there is nothing here for us to index and nothing for them to fix.

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 Li Industries
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Li Industries. 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.
Security Posture 1
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.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Li Industries, 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.
