  Kymeta Corporation is a Redmond, Washington satellite communications company that builds
  electronically steered, flat-panel metamaterial antennas and the connectivity service that runs
  behind them. Spun out of Intellectual Ventures in 2012 from metamaterials research begun at Duke
  University, Kymeta ships the u8 terminal family — Osprey u8, Goshawk u8, Peregrine u8, Hawk u8
  and the compact Kestrel u5 — for military and government, maritime, land-mobile, energy and
  humanitarian users who need multi-orbit GEO/LEO connectivity on the move. The hardware is paired
  with Kymeta Connect, a software-defined service platform reached through the Kymeta Access app
  and the Kymeta Access Portal, which handles terminal management, subscriptions, usage metrics and
  remote monitoring. Kymeta operates a first-party API host and its own OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect
  identity provider, but publishes no public developer program, API reference or machine-readable
  contract; product documentation and release notices require a Kymeta Access Portal account.

- name: Kymeta Connect Platform API
  description: >-
    Kymeta's first-party API host for the Kymeta Connect service platform, which backs the Kymeta
    Access app and the Kymeta Access Portal. The host answers unauthenticated on three operational
    endpoints only — /health, /version and /status — and 404s every specification path probed. Its
    own /status roll-up names the ten services behind the gateway: accounts, activityLogger,
    enterpriseBroker, fileStorage, logicApp, remoteMetrics, scheduler, subscriptions, users and
    devices. Every functional endpoint is gated behind the OAuth 2.0 server at access.kymeta.io;
    Kymeta publishes no OpenAPI, no reference and no getting-started guide for it.

    Kymeta's own OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect authorization server (issuer https://access.kymeta.io),
    the single sign-on point for the Kymeta Access Portal, Kymeta Academy and Grapevine. It
    publishes a live OIDC discovery document and JWKS, supports authorization code with PKCE,
    client credentials, refresh token, implicit and device code grants, and advertises eleven
    scopes including a named partners-api scope. The discovery document is the only
    machine-readable contract Kymeta publishes anywhere.

  detail: >-
    Kymeta runs a live first-party API host at api.kymeta.io that answers /health, /version and
    /status unauthenticated and 404s every specification path, while its own support site states
    "You must have a Kymeta Access Portal account to access the notices" — so the contract,
    reference and release notes for the Kymeta Connect platform all sit behind a customer tenant
    rather than being unpublished.
