Starlink
Starlink is the low-Earth-orbit satellite internet constellation operated by SpaceX from Hawthorne, California, delivering broadband and non-terrestrial connectivity to residential, business, maritime, aviation, and government customers in the United States and roughly a hundred other markets. In the telecom value chain Starlink is an access-network operator that sells connectivity directly to end customers and wholesales capacity to airlines, shipping lines, and mobile network operators, rather than a CPaaS aggregator or a GSMA-affiliated mobile network operator. Its API posture is unusually open for an access provider and unusually narrow in scope. The Starlink Public API V2 is fully documented in public at starlink.readme.io, its OpenAPI 3.0.4 description is downloadable anonymously from starlink.com with no login, and SpaceX publishes an official gRPC protobuf for the local device API on GitHub. But the API is operational rather than developer-product, covering account, service line, user terminal, router, billing, and telemetry management, and credentials are gated behind an enterprise or business Starlink account whose admin must mint a V2 service account. No CAMARA implementation, no GSMA Open Gateway participation, and no TM Forum Open API conformance was found anywhere in Starlink's published material.
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.
API Evangelist profiles Starlink the way a machine reads it — 24 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, 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 — Starlink scores 42.3/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 38/100 (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. 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 Starlink
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Starlink. 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 16
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.
Starlink Telemetry Stream API
A low-latency JSON over HTTP streaming API for device telemetry, consumed by repeated small-batch POST requests with batchSize and maxLingerMs parameters. POST /public/v2/teleme...
Starlink Local Device API
SpaceX's officially supported local gRPC API on Starlink hardware, defined in protobuf and published verbatim on GitHub as device.proto. The SpaceX.API.Device service exposes a ...

Open Collections 1
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).
Starlink Public API
OPEN COLLECTIONRate 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 LIMITSEvent Specifications 1
Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.
AsyncAPI definitions for this provider's event-driven and streaming APIs.
Starlink Telemetry Stream and Device Alerts
Event surface for Starlink enterprise device telemetry. Starlink exposes it as a poll-based JSON-over-HTTP stream rather than a broker: the consumer makes continuous small-batch...
ASYNCAPISecurity 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.
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals.
Scopes 1
OAuth scopes are the vocabulary of least-privilege access. Profiling them shows exactly what an integration — or an agent acting on a user's behalf — is allowed to do.
OAuth scopes governing access to this provider's APIs.
Agentic Access 1
An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
Recommended x-agentic-access execution contracts for AI agents.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Starlink, 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.
