Maquoketa Research
Maquoketa Research is a defense-technology startup (Y Combinator, Spring 2026) building autonomous terminal-guidance systems for one-way attack drones. Its platform-agnostic guidance modules add custom computer-vision object tracking to low-cost FPV drone hardware, raising strike success rates from under 25% to roughly 80% while maintaining target lock through GPS jamming and signal loss. Founded in 2025 and based in San Francisco, the five-person team ships hardware modules (product lines include GCS, Magpie, Odin, and TGS) that integrate with existing drone flight controllers rather than a public developer API. This profile was surfaced as a Y Combinator portfolio company and enriched from the company's public website; it currently exposes no public API, SDK, or developer platform surface.
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 Maquoketa Research 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 — Maquoketa Research scores 9.4/100 (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.
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 Maquoketa Research
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Maquoketa Research. 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.
