Swift Navigation
Swift Navigation builds precise positioning technology for mass-market applications — automotive ADAS and autonomy, mobile handsets, robotics, drones, micromobility, fleet and asset tracking, GIS and construction. Its flagship service, Skylark, is a cloud-based GNSS corrections service that streams RTCM 3.x corrections over NTRIP from regional casters in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, correcting satellite clock, orbit and atmospheric errors to take positioning from several metres to a few centimetres. Skylark ships in three variants — Nx RTK (network RTK on virtual reference stations), Cx (PPP-RTK, continent-wide, ISO 26262:2018 certified by UL Solutions) and Dx (differential code corrections for handsets and IoT). Swift also publishes the Swift Binary Protocol (SBP), the open, machine-readable wire protocol for its Piksi and Duro GNSS receivers and its Starling positioning engine, along with generated client libraries in six languages, and it publishes the complete gRPC contract for its Sora location time-series service on the Buf Schema Registry.
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 Swift Navigation the way a machine reads it — 234 machine-readable artifacts across 4 APIs, 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 — Swift Navigation scores 40.2/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 37/100 (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 Swift Navigation
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Swift Navigation. 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 4
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.
Skylark Precise Positioning Service
Real-time GNSS corrections delivered as continuously-open NTRIP streams. A client opens an HTTP GET against a regional caster mountpoint with HTTP Basic credentials issued per d...
Swift Binary Protocol (SBP)
The native binary protocol for Swift Navigation devices — Piksi and Duro GNSS receivers and the Starling positioning engine. 242 message types across 29 packages carry position,...
Sora API
gRPC service for collecting, storing and analysing device location time series. DeviceService (5 RPCs) takes device state and events from the field; AppService (29 RPCs) queries...
Swift Navigation Web Data Endpoints
First-party, keyless JSON endpoints on the Swift Navigation website that power the Skylark User Portal and the receiver compatibility checker — the 134-entry third-party receive...
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.
Swift Navigation Rate Limits
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.
JSON Schema 223
Standalone JSON Schema definitions describe the data models behind the API. We profile them so the shapes are validatable on their own — useful long after a single request is forgotten.

Examples 1
Real request and response payloads are what turn a spec from abstract into obvious — and they're one of the twelve things an agent needs to call an API correctly on the first try.
Example request and response payloads for these APIs.
Security Posture 2
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.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Swift Navigation, 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.
