Windward
Windward is a Maritime AI company headquartered in London and Washington D.C. delivering mission-grade, multi-source maritime intelligence for defense agencies, law enforcement, customs, energy and commodity traders, marine insurers, shippers, and financial institutions. Founded by CEO Ami Daniel, Windward fuses AIS data, remote sensing (EO, SAR, RF GEOINT), proprietary behavioral analytics, and generative AI into a single Maritime AI platform covering vessel screening, ownership and entity resolution, sanctions exposure, deceptive shipping detection, ship-to-ship transfer analysis, IUU fishing detection, smuggling detection, container tracking, and maritime infrastructure protection. Windward exposes its intelligence through the API Insights Lab, a unified GraphQL API at developer.windward.ai providing programmatic access to vessel risk scores, Organization Defined Risk (ODR), ultimate beneficial ownership, early detection signals, tracked shipments, carriers, and detention & demurrage data, along with webhooks and workflow automation. The company has no public REST/OpenAPI surface, no public SDKs, and no public GitHub org — its API is GraphQL-only with managed onboarding and expert-led implementation support.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles Windward the way a machine reads it — 2 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 — Windward scores 10.2/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (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.
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.

How we profile Windward
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Windward. 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.
GraphQL 1
Where a provider ships GraphQL, the schema is the contract. We profile it alongside the REST surface so the whole interface is legible in one place.
GraphQL schemas published by this provider.
Windward GraphQL API
GRAPHQLSecurity 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.
