Embark Veterinary (embarkvet)

About this repository

This is not our API. This repository is an independent, third-party profile of a company's publicly available API surface, maintained by API Evangelist. API Evangelist does not operate, host, resell, or support this company's APIs, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated on the profile.

Where the information came from. Everything here is assembled from material a member of the public can reach with a browser and no credentials — the company's own website, developer portal and documentation, the specifications it publishes for public use (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, JSON Schema, apis.json, llms.txt and similar), its public repositories, and its public status, pricing and changelog pages. Nothing here is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials of any kind.

The rating is an independent assessment. The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated scores of a company's public API artifacts, produced by API Evangelist against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits, and they score published artifacts — not the quality, safety, or security of the software.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free. No partnership, contract, or purchase is required, and you do not need to justify the request.

  • Something wrong? Open an issue on this repository, or email info@apievangelist.com.
  • Published something new? Ask for a re-score and we will re-run the rating.
  • Want the listing taken down? Say so and we will honor it. The profile is reduced to your company name, a factual description, and a link to your own site, and the company is recorded as unrated — never scored zero for having asked.

Response times. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal or restriction within two business days; corrections and re-scores within five business days.

Not from the company, and here with a question? You are welcome here — we would rather be the front line and point you the right way than have a good report go nowhere. What this repository can answer is narrow, though, so it is worth knowing who you are actually looking for:

  • A question about how the API works, an account, billing, or a bug in the service — that is the company's own support, not us. We profile this API; we do not operate it and cannot see your account.
  • A bug in an open-source project we only catalog — file it on that project's own repository. This has happened with a real and correct bug report that reached us instead of the people who could fix it, which helped nobody.
  • Anything about this listing itself — the description, the tags, the rating, a missing or wrong artifact — is ours. Open an issue here.
  • Not sure, or something general about API Evangelist or APIs.io — open an issue on the APIs.io Inbox and we will route it.

This repository contains no software, and we will never ask you to download anything. There is no build, release, installer, or binary here — only text and machine-readable API descriptions, so there is nothing here that can be "corrupt" or need "repairing". Any issue, comment, or email claiming otherwise and offering a download link is not from us and is hostile. Do not follow the link; it is a lure. Report it to GitHub and, if you like, tell us at info@apievangelist.com so we can take it down.

On a security or compliance team? Email info@apievangelist.com with security in the subject line and you will get a person, not a form. We will tell you exactly which public URLs this profile was built from so your team can see the same surface we did, and we will take the listing down on request while you work through it.

Full detail: Where this data comes from

Embark Veterinary is a canine genomics and biotechnology company (founded 2015; headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts) that sells at-home dog DNA test kits for breed identification, ancestry, and genetic health screening. A cheek-swab sample is analyzed on Embark's proprietary genotyping platform of 200,000+ genetic markers, and results — 400+ breeds, 270+ genetic health conditions, allergy risk, coat/trait predictions, a relative finder, and (for breeders) a Pair Predictor and eCOI dashboard — are delivered through Embark's website and mobile apps.

API Access Model — No Public Developer API

As of this review (2026-07-03), Embark does not publish a documented public or partner developer API. This entry is an honest stub. Findings:

  • Consumer / DTC delivery. Embark is a direct-to-consumer genetics service. Results are consumed through Embark's own web dashboard and its iOS/Android apps, not through a programmatic API for third-party developers.
  • No developer portal or API docs. There is no developers page, API reference, OpenAPI document, published base URL, SDK, or authentication scheme for an Embark data API. (embarkvet.com/developers returns 404.)
  • Raw data download, not an API. Embark's differentiator is data ownership: every customer can freely download their dog's raw genetic data file and share it with a breed club, a health database, or a researcher. This is a per-account file export, not a queryable API.
  • Breeder tools are a dashboard. The breeder offering (Pair Predictor, eCOI, base coat color predictions, litter planning) is a web dashboard feature set, not a documented programmatic interface.
  • Research is partnership-gated. Embark collaborates with research partners (Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine, NIH, Morris Animal Foundation, breed clubs) and publishes research code under the ProjectAussie GitHub organization. Data access for research runs through direct partnership (research@ / breeders@ / partner program), not a self-serve API.

Because no API surface is documented, no apis are listed in apis.yml, and no openapi/, plans/, rate-limits/, finops/, or collections/ artifacts were created (nothing to model without fabrication). If Embark publishes a developer or partner API in the future, this entry should be upgraded with real, sourced endpoints.

Products & Pricing (DNA kits, not API plans)

Consumer product prices as listed on shop.embarkvet.com / retail partners (USD, subject to promotions):

  • Breed + Health Dog DNA Test — regular ~$199 (frequently on sale ~$118); 400+ breeds and 270+ health conditions, allergy risk, relatives, traits.
  • Breed Identification Dog DNA Test — regular ~$129 (sale ~$109); ancestry/breed mix without the health screening.
  • Embark for Breeders Dog DNA Test — breeder-tier kit with the breeder dashboard and Pair Predictor tools.
  • Also sells probiotics and health supplements.

Kits ship a cheek swab; results are typically available online in ~2–4 weeks.
