Lightup
Lightup Data, Inc. is an enterprise data quality and data observability platform that lets data teams detect, diagnose, and resolve data issues across cloud and hybrid data stacks. The platform runs pushdown data quality checks (DQIs) directly against customer datasources — Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift, BigQuery, Postgres, Athena, Oracle, Teradata, SAP HANA, Dremio, Incorta, ksqlDB and S3/Azure blob storage — so no customer source data is copied into the Lightup environment. Capabilities include zero-config auto metrics, sliced metrics, AI-based anomaly detection, data profiling, data reconciliation, data lineage, incident management, and an agentic interface (Lightup Agentic) that exposes the platform to MCP-compatible AI agents. Lightup exposes a REST API for workspaces, datasources, metrics, monitors, incidents, integrations, dashboards and users, a Python CLI (lightctl), an Airflow provider, and an official MCP server. Founded by Manu Bansal; backed by a16z; SOC 2 Type 2 and ISAE 3000 compliant.
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.
API Evangelist profiles Lightup the way a machine reads it — 31 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 — Lightup scores 48.9/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 24/100 (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. 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 Lightup
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Lightup. 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 12
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.
Lightup API Credentials API
The API Credentials API from Lightup — 1 operation(s) for api credentials.
Lightup Catalogs API
The Catalogs API from Lightup — 2 operation(s) for catalogs.
Lightup Dashboard chart API
The Dashboard chart API from Lightup — 1 operation(s) for dashboard chart.
Lightup Datapoints API
The Datapoints API from Lightup — 1 operation(s) for datapoints.
Lightup Datasources API
The Datasources API from Lightup — 3 operation(s) for datasources.
Lightup Health check API
The Health check API from Lightup — 1 operation(s) for health check.
Lightup Incidents API
The Incidents API from Lightup — 4 operation(s) for incidents.
Lightup Integrations API
The Integrations API from Lightup — 2 operation(s) for integrations.
Lightup Metrics API
The Metrics API from Lightup — 2 operation(s) for metrics.
Lightup Monitors API
The Monitors API from Lightup — 3 operation(s) for monitors.
Lightup Users API
The Users API from Lightup — 4 operation(s) for users.
Lightup Workspaces API
The Workspaces API from Lightup — 2 operation(s) for workspaces.

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.

Lightup MCP Server
MCP SERVERSecurity Posture 4
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.
Recommended x-agentic-access execution contracts for AI agents.

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