Pachama
Pachama is a San Francisco–based climate technology company founded in 2018 that built a satellite- and machine-learning-powered platform for monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) of nature-based carbon projects — including forest conservation, reforestation, afforestation, and improved forest management. Pachama combined satellite imagery, LiDAR, remote sensing, and deep-learning models to measure aboveground biomass, detect deforestation, and track project performance against verified baselines, surfacing that intelligence through an online marketplace where corporate buyers (including Microsoft, Shopify, Salesforce, Flexport.org, Mercado Libre, Boom Supersonic, and Nespresso) could discover and purchase high-integrity carbon credits. In November 2025, Pachama was acquired by Carbon Direct, and its proprietary digital MRV platform and forest-carbon science team were folded into Carbon Direct's science-backed carbon management offering; pachama.com now redirects to carbon-direct.com. Throughout its life as an independent company Pachama operated a buyer marketplace and discussed plans for a partner API to embed project selection and retirement data into third-party products, but never shipped a public, self-service developer API, SDK, or open OpenAPI specification — its GitHub organization contains only forks and archived internal tooling.
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 Pachama 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 — Pachama scores 5.7/100 (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. 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 Pachama
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Pachama. 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 Pachama, 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.
