SmartData
SmartData is a hosted drone-data workspace built and operated by National Drones, a CASA ReOC holder and Registered Training Organisation headquartered at Level 34, 1 Eagle Street, Brisbane, Australia. Teams bring processed, viewer-ready outputs from DJI Terra, Agisoft Metashape or their own photogrammetry workflow into SmartData and share one secure browser workspace where clients and asset owners can inspect, measure, compare and sign off on the data instead of passing files around. The platform hosts orthomosaic views, Cesium 3D Tiles, tiled point clouds and Gaussian Splat packages, layers AI-assisted inspection review, measurements, change detection, reporting and role-based team governance over them, and is expanding into processing and analytics workflows for DJI L3 LiDAR, Elios confined-space data, powerline corridor analytics and forestry intelligence. It serves power and utilities, telecommunications, mining and resources, forestry and environment, and infrastructure and construction. SmartData is sold as an end-user SaaS product: it publishes pricing, a public demo sandbox and self-service signup, but no API, developer portal, SDK, webhook surface or machine-readable contract of any kind.
More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.
API Evangelist profiles SmartData the way a machine reads it — 4 machine-readable artifacts, 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 — SmartData scores 24.6/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 3/100 (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.
Why this profile is thin
SmartData is National Drones' end-user drone-data workspace and ships no developer surface at all - the 50-URL sitemap on www.smart-data.com has no /docs, /api or /developers page, api./docs./developer. subdomains do not resolve on either smart-data.com or ndsmartdata.com, and the only machine surface that exists is the Django REST backend the web app itself calls at app.ndsmartdata.com/api/v1/, which is undocumented and answers anonymous callers with 403 {"detail":"Authentication credentials were not provided."}.
This is an honest zero, not a gap in our research. SmartData does not appear to expose an API, so there is nothing here for us to index and nothing for them to fix.

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 SmartData
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for SmartData. 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.
Pricing Plans 1
Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the things the Kin Score reads for access clarity — renamed from commercial clarity in rubric 0.12, because a free statutory interface has access terms and no commercial ones.
Published pricing tiers and plan structures.
Rate Limits 1
Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.
Documented rate limits and quota policies.

RATE LIMITSFinOps 1
Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.
Cost, billing, and metering signals for API financial operations.
Smart Data Finops
FINOPSSecurity 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 SmartData, 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.
