Rubicon
Rubicon (formerly NYSE: RBT) is a waste, recycling, and sustainability technology company founded in 2008. It went public in 2022 via a SPAC merger with Founder SPAC at a pro forma valuation of roughly $1.7 billion, branding itself a "digital challenger" to the traditional waste-hauling industry with a marketplace connecting waste generators to independent haulers plus the RUBICONSmartCity fleet-and-routing platform used by more than 70 municipalities. Operating Status: the company subsequently faced severe financial distress - layoffs and debt restructuring in 2023, a June 2024 NYSE delisting, and a May 2024 divestiture of its entire fleet technology and smart-city business unit (RUBICONSmartCity, RUBICONPro, RUBICONPremier) to Rodina Capital for roughly $68 million plus a possible $12 million earnout; those assets were subsequently absorbed by Routeware. In early 2025 Rubicon deregistered its securities and became a privately held company, majority-owned by Jose Miguel Enrich through MBI Holdings, and remains the subject of shareholder litigation over the change-of-control terms. The surviving company operates as a smaller enterprise waste brokerage and sustainability-data business built around the RUBICONConnect platform (service, equipment, pickup, and cost visibility for enterprise customers such as Chipotle and FedEx), alongside RUBICONRegWatch compliance tooling, sustainability reporting, technical advisory services, and the Rubicon Now on-demand dumpster-rental service in a handful of cities. rubicon.com publishes no developer portal, no public API reference, and no OpenAPI specification. The only discoverable API artifact tied to the rubicon.com domain is a "Routeware Smartcity Public Api" Swagger UI hosted at a dev subdomain (haulerpublic-api.dev.aws.rubicon.com) - leftover infrastructure from the divested fleet/smart-city business - which returned a 503 Service Unavailable on every check during this review and is not publicly documented or reachable. Any hauler or municipal system integration Rubicon references (for example, connecting to city 311 systems) is negotiated per partner and gated behind sales and onboarding rather than exposed through self-serve developer documentation. Pricing across RUBICONConnect and Rubicon's enterprise services is entirely quote-based and negotiated per contract; no public pricing, tiers, or rate limits are published. This entry is maintained as an honest stub pending any future public API 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 Rubicon 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 — Rubicon scores 7.2/100 (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.

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.

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.
