Upwind
Upwind is a cloud and AI security platform (CNAPP) that secures cloud infrastructure, workloads, and applications in real time — spanning cloud security posture management (CSPM), vulnerability management, container and Kubernetes security, API security, data security posture management (DSPM), identity and entitlements (CIEM), and incident response. Its Management REST API (v1 and v2) exposes threats, vulnerabilities, configurations, cloud accounts, inventory graph search, access management, and webhook integrations, secured with OAuth 2.0 client credentials and served from US, EU, and ME regional endpoints. Backed by Craft Ventures and Greylock.
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 Upwind the way a machine reads it — 43 machine-readable artifacts across 2 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 — Upwind scores 53.0/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 44/100 (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 Upwind
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Upwind. 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 12
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.
Upwind access-management API
The access-management API from Upwind — 10 operation(s) for access-management.
Upwind api-security API
The api-security API from Upwind — 2 operation(s) for api-security.
Upwind cloud-accounts API
The cloud-accounts API from Upwind — 2 operation(s) for cloud-accounts.
Upwind configurations API
The configurations API from Upwind — 14 operation(s) for configurations.
Upwind events API
The events API from Upwind — 3 operation(s) for events.
Upwind integrations API
The integrations API from Upwind — 2 operation(s) for integrations.
Upwind Inventory API
The Inventory API from Upwind — 6 operation(s) for inventory.
Upwind packages API
The packages API from Upwind — 2 operation(s) for packages.
Upwind shiftleft API
The shiftleft API from Upwind — 1 operation(s) for shiftleft.
Upwind threats API
The threats API from Upwind — 18 operation(s) for threats.
Upwind vulnerabilities API
The vulnerabilities API from Upwind — 2 operation(s) for vulnerabilities.
Upwind workflows API
The workflows API from Upwind — 2 operation(s) for workflows.

Postman Collections 12
A runnable collection turns the contract into something a developer can execute in seconds. We profile them because the fastest way to trust an API is to make a real call against it.
Ready-to-run Postman collections for exercising this provider's APIs.

Open Collections 13
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).

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 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.

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.

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