Skybox Imaging
Skybox Imaging was a high-resolution Earth-observation smallsat startup founded in 2009 out of Stanford University, building the SkySat constellation of small satellites to capture sub-meter commercial imagery and video. Backed by Canaan Partners among other venture investors, it was acquired by Google in 2014 for roughly $500M, renamed Terra Bella in 2016, and then sold to Planet Labs in 2017. The company no longer exists as an independent entity and publishes no live developer API, docs, or discovery surface; this profile is retained as a portfolio-graph node for canaan-partners.
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.
Skybox Imaging is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
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 — Skybox Imaging scores 6.8/100 (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.

Skybox Imaging is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
