Ynsect

Ÿnsect (Ÿnsect SAS) was a French agri-technology company, founded in Évry, Essonne on 4 October 2011 by Antoine Hubert, Jean-Gabriel Levon, Fabrice Berro and Alexis Angot, that farmed Tenebrio molitor mealworms and Alphitobius diaperinus buffalo larvae in automated vertical farms and processed them into high-protein ingredients for aquaculture and animal feed, the Spryng pet-food line, food-grade ingredients for human nutrition, and the Ynfrass organic fertiliser made from insect frass. It was for a time the best-funded insect-protein company in the world, raising roughly €600 million over fourteen years, including a €372 million Series C in 2020 and a further €160 million in early 2023, and it operated sites at Dole and Damparis in the Jura while building the Ynfarm vertical farm at Poulainville near Amiens. The economics never closed: Ÿnsect requested safeguard proceedings on 26 September 2024, was placed in judicial reorganisation on 3 March 2025, and — unable to fund a continuation plan within the observation period — was placed in judicial liquidation on 1 December 2025. The Damparis site was taken over in 2025 by Keprea, a separate company founded by Ÿnsect alumni, to make fertiliser from insect frass; Keprea is not a successor to Ÿnsect and its surfaces are not part of this profile. Ÿnsect was an industrial producer of physical goods and never operated a developer program, public API, SDK, webhook surface or machine-readable specification of any kind. Its host ynsect.com is still registered to the company but the web origin has been switched off — TCP 80 and 443 refuse connections — and ynsect.fr is a bare OVH redirect to that dead host, so no pointer to a live company website is wired. This profile is retained as a historical record; there is no API surface to enrich.

human only

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.

Kin Score
travel_explore apis.io index code GitHub source

Ynsect is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.

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 — Ynsect scores 4.6/100 (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.

No API surface

Why this profile is thin

Ÿnsect was placed in judicial liquidation on 1 December 2025 and its web origin has since been switched off — ynsect.com still resolves to 51.75.15.14 but refuses connections on ports 80 and 443, so all 100 probes against ynsect.com and www.ynsect.com failed at connect with no HTTP status, while ynsect.fr returns a blanket 301 to that same dead host on all 25 paths probed.

This is an honest zero, not a gap in our research. Ynsect does not appear to expose an API, so there is nothing here for us to index and nothing for them to fix.

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.

Ynsect Kin Score — API readiness rating by API Evangelist

Put this on your own site. The badge is drawn live from Ynsect's current Kin Score — paste it once and it updates itself every time the score is recomputed. It follows your visitor's light or dark setting, and it links back here so anyone who sees it can read the full breakdown.

Ynsect is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.

Where this information came from

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