Ocient

Ocient is a Chicago-based data platform company founded in 2016 that builds OcientAIQ, a unified data platform for petabyte-scale analytics and production AI. Its Compute-Adjacent Storage Architecture (CASA) colocates NVMe storage with compute so that ingest, query optimization, machine learning, geospatial analysis, security and governance run against very large datasets without moving the data. The platform is reached with standard SQL over a JDBC driver, the pyocient Python DB-API 2.0 driver, a SQLAlchemy dialect, an Apache Spark connector, and an HTTP Query API that executes SQL statements over REST and returns JSON. Ocient serves communications service providers, national security and intelligence, adtech, and financial services customers, and offers OcientCloud, customer-deployed, and hybrid deployment models.

agent ready

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 Ocient the way a machine reads it — 9 machine-readable artifacts across 2 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 — Ocient scores 51.1/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 58/100 (agent ready). 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.

Ocient Kin Score — API readiness rating by API Evangelist

Put this on your own site. The badge is drawn live from Ocient's current Kin Score — paste it once and it updates itself every time the score is recomputed. It follows your visitor's light or dark setting, and it links back here so anyone who sees it can read the full breakdown.

How we profile Ocient

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Ocient. 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 2

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.

Ocient Ocient HTTP Query API API

The Ocient HTTP Query API API from Ocient — 10 operation(s) for ocient http query api.

Ocient System Information REST Endpoints API

The System Information REST Endpoints API from Ocient — 6 operation(s) for system information rest endpoints.

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 3

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 Ocient, 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.
