aid: gro-intelligence name: Gro Intelligence description: >- Gro Intelligence was a New York- and Nairobi-based agricultural and climate data company, founded in 2014 by Sara Menker, that built a global food-and-climate intelligence platform on top of satellite imagery, weather models, government statistics and trade data. Its product was a normalized ontology — metrics, items, regions, frequencies, sources and units — over hundreds of trillions of data points, exposed through a read-only REST API and an official Python client used by traders, insurers, lenders and CPG procurement teams to forecast yield, price and climate risk. The company raised an $85M Series B in 2021 and was named to TIME's 100 most influential companies, then ran out of money, laid off 60% of staff in March 2024 and ceased operations that spring; Almanac (formerly Semios) acquired its IP and AI models out of liquidation in November 2024. This profile is a historical record: the API host, developer portal and web application no longer resolve, and the primary domain is a parked registrar lander. url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api-evangelist/gro-intelligence/refs/heads/main/apis.yml image: https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/15130228?v=4 x-type: company x-source: harvest:secondary-market x-tier: profiled x-tier-reason: enrichment-pass-completed x-status: defunct specificationVersion: '0.20' created: '2026-08-22' modified: '2026-08-22' tags: - Company - Agriculture - Climate - Data - Analytics - Satellite Imagery - Commodities - Weather - Food Security - Time Series - Defunct apis: - name: Gro Intelligence API (retired) description: >- Read-only REST API over the Gro ontology and its agricultural, climate and trade time series. Every operation was an HTTP GET under /v2/, authenticated with a bearer token issued from the Gro web application: ontology lookup and search (/v2/metrics, /v2/items, /v2/regions, /v2/frequencies, /v2/sources, /v2/units, /v2/entities/list, /v2/search), series discovery (/v2/data_series/list, /v2/stream/data_series/list, /v2/available/sources, /v2/available/time-frequencies, /v2/top/{entity_type}), unit handling (/v2/units/allowed), geography (/v2/geocentres) and the data plane (/v2/data, /v2prime/data). The service is RETIRED — api.gro-intelligence.com no longer resolves and no credential can be obtained. Recorded here from the company's own published client library, not from a live probe. humanURL: https://github.com/gro-intelligence/api-client baseURL: https://api.gro-intelligence.com/v2 image: https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/15130228?v=4 tags: - Agriculture - Climate - Time Series - Data x-status: retired x-retired-note: >- baseURL is recorded as the company published it in groclient/cfg.py (API_HOST = "api.gro-intelligence.com").

STEP 0b contract discovery was still run in full; the profile is built from the surfaces that survive — the company's public GitHub organization, the first-party MIT-licensed groclient library, its dated GitHub releases, and the PyPI/conda-forge listings. No OpenAPI, GraphQL SDL, MCP server or A2A agent card was ever published by this company. evidence: - url: https://api.gro-intelligence.com/openapi.json status: 0 - url: https://developers.gro-intelligence.com/ status: 0 - url: https://gro-intelligence.com/openapi.json status: 200 - url: https://gro-intelligence.com/zzz-soft404-control status: 200 - url: https://gro-intelligence.com/.well-known/agent-card.json status: 200 - url: https://github.com/gro-intelligence/api-client status: 200 - url: https://pypi.org/project/groclient/ status: 200 checked: '2026-08-22'
