The approved standard OpenAPI description OGC itself publishes for OGC API - DGGS. This is the STANDARD'S contract, not any one deployment of it — the servers block is a template, so it describes what a conformant implementation must offer rather than a callable host.
OGC API - DGGS is one of 10 APIs that Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.
Tagged areas include OGC, OGC API, OGC API DGGS, Geospatial, and Specification. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification.
This API exposes
17 operations
across 17 paths,
organized into 7 resource areas,
and defines 25 schemas.
It is described by OpenAPI 3.0.0, at version 1.0.
Requests are made against a single base URL, https://maps.gnosis.earth/ogcapi.

This is an independent, third-party profile of OGC API - DGGS, 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.
