Starship Technologies

Starship Technologies is an autonomous last-mile delivery company that operates a global fleet of self-driving, sidewalk-going delivery robots. Founded in 2014 by Skype co-founders Ahti Heinla and Janus Friis, the company runs commercial robot delivery on university campuses, in residential neighborhoods, on industrial sites and for grocery and restaurant partners across the United States, the United Kingdom, Estonia, Finland, Germany and Denmark, and has completed more than 10 million autonomous deliveries. Its commercial product, Delivery by Starship, is a delivery-as-a-service offering that partners integrate into their own ordering apps: Starship states that its APIs let a partner create delivery jobs, load robots, obtain status updates and handle delivery cancellations, backed by a developer toolkit, documentation, ready-made components and support. That developer surface is not published to the open web — Starship provides it to partners after a commercial conversation via business@starship.co, so no public specification, reference or portal exists to profile.

human only

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.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Starship Technologies the way a machine reads it — 3 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 — Starship Technologies scores 11.0/100 (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.

Behind a wall

Why this profile is thin

Starship's Delivery Apps page states its APIs create delivery jobs, load robots and return status updates, but the "full developer toolkit, documentation and support" it names is released only after a commercial conversation via business@starship.co — the 43-page site sitemap contains no developer, docs, reference or pricing page at all.

An API exists — we simply could not reach the contract without credentials or a sales conversation. This one is Starship Technologies's to change: publishing the reference and a machine-readable spec at a public URL, while keeping key issuance behind whatever gate they like, would let an integrator evaluate the API before committing to a call.

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 Starship Technologies

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Starship Technologies. 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.

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.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Starship Technologies, 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.
