Data and API

DEPLOY publishes the verified record of physical AI in machine-readable form for developers, AI agents, researchers, and journalists. The surfaces below are stable, indexable, and free to use without an account or API key. Rate limits are generous; if you need bulk access, see the contact note at the bottom.

REST API endpoints

JSON, no authentication required, served from https://registry.deploy.report/v1/. Responses follow conventional REST shapes (collection at the root path, single record at /{id}). All UUIDs use the canonical entity-ID space, stable across renames.

• /v1/entities

  List all registry entities (companies, models, deployments, incidents, regulations, locations) with their canonical IDs, types, slugs, and aliases. Use for entity resolution.

• /v1/entities/{id}

  Get a single entity by UUID. Returns the canonical record with sources and review status.

• /v1/entities/{id}/stats

  Lightweight depth counts for one entity: source count, signal count (pub coverage), deployment count, incident count, and most recent source date.

• /v1/entities/{id}/deployments

  Deployments linked to this entity (as manufacturer, operator, or via a deployed model).

• /v1/entities/{id}/sources

  All sources cited on this entity's record.

• /v1/companies

  Full list of company entities with HQ, founding year, funding total, and status.

• /v1/companies/{id}

  One company in full, including key facts and sources.

• /v1/models

  Full list of robot models with form factor, manufacturer, maturity stage, and specs.

• /v1/models/{id}

  One model in full, with versions and capabilities.

• /v1/robots

  Full list of deployments (the registry uses /robots as the historical name for this collection). Returns model, operator, location, status, sources.

• /v1/robots/{id}

  One deployment in full.

• /v1/incidents

  Full list of recorded incidents (collisions, injuries, fatalities, recalls, regulatory actions, malfunctions).

• /v1/incidents/{id}

  One incident with its sources, derived status (active / disputed / corrected / retracted), and linked entities.

• /v1/locations

  All location records (states, metros, cities, neighborhoods, sites) with the parent-chain hierarchy.

• /v1/locations/{id}

  One location, with sub-locations and feeds.

• /v1/regulations

  Robot-relevant regulations: permits, operational restrictions, safety standards, data protection.

• /v1/feeds

  Environment feeds (operator-provided live data streams).

Example: fetch the Tesla company record at /v1/companies/bde7c8a1-5d35-449d-93b0-2ac8e4601c16.

Markdown mirrors

Every entity, comparison, glossary, methodology, and category page on DEPLOY has a markdown mirror at the same URL with .md appended. Pure text, no JavaScript, no HTML chrome. The markdown mirror is the canonical agent-ingestion surface.

• /companies/figure-ai ↔ /companies/figure-ai.md
• /verified-deployments ↔ /verified-deployments.md
• /glossary ↔ /glossary.md
• /waymo-vs-tesla ↔ /waymo-vs-tesla.md

JSON-LD structured data

All entity and aggregation pages embed schema.org structured data in the page head for machine consumption. Types in use: Organization (companies), Product (models), Place (locations), Article (comparison pages), ItemList (category and aggregation pages), and DefinedTermSet with DefinedTerm children on the glossary. Crawlers and LLMs can extract canonical names, IDs, URLs, and relationships without parsing the visible HTML body.

RSS feeds

Standard RSS 2.0. Subscribe in any reader. Two scopes:

• Firehose: /feed.xml (30 most recent registry events: verified deployments, incidents, model additions, across all entities).
• Per-entity: /companies/{slug}/feed.xml (20 most recent events scoped to one company: DEPLOY-publication signals tagged to the entity, plus registry events involving it). Examples: /companies/figure-ai/feed.xml, /companies/waymo/feed.xml.

Feed-reader autodiscovery: company detail pages declare their feed via a <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"> tag in the page head.

Bulk access

The REST endpoints listed above return full collections by default; a single GET to /v1/entities returns the entire entity index. Equivalent collection endpoints exist for /v1/companies, /v1/models, /v1/robots, /v1/incidents, /v1/locations, and /v1/regulations. A single-file bulk export (newline-delimited JSON of the full registry snapshot) is on the roadmap. Researchers needing bulk access before that ships: corrections@deploy.report.

Citation

Citation guidelines for journalists, researchers, and AI agents consuming the registry are documented at /cite (forthcoming; in the meantime cite the canonical URL of the record plus the access date).

Verification discipline

Every record on the registry has been verified against primary sources or rendered as company-claimed. See how we verify and the glossary for the strict definitions behind "deployment", "fleet", "incident", and the rest of the registry vocabulary.
