What Extract does that Geoapify does not
Extract passes llms.txt published, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, programmatic credential creation, cli available, structured, predictable output, machine-readable errors, retry behavior documented, and Geoapify fails them. That is the whole of the gap between the two scores, so if none of those matter to your agent the ranking above overstates the difference.
Why people look for an alternative
Geoapify fails public docs discoverable, llms.txt published, llms-full.txt / full agent docs, openapi / spec quality, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, agent-compatible signup flow, programmatic credential creation, cli available, structured, predictable output, machine-readable errors, retry behavior documented, idempotency support, rate-limit behavior predictable, agent compatibility verified. Each one is a place an unattended run stops, which is usually what sends someone looking in the first place.
Where Geoapify loses the points
| Pillar | Geoapify | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| Discover | 73 | Can an agent find it at all: sitemap, robots, structured data. |
| Understand | 54 | Is there a spec, an llms.txt, a machine-readable description. |
| Adopt | 75 | Signup, keys, SDKs, and whether a human has to be involved. |
| Operate | 35 | Rate-limit headers, errors, status, and behaviour under load. |
Geoapify is weakest on operate at 35/100. Missing rate-limit headers mean an agent finds the limit by hitting it. If that is the part your agent depends on, take the ranking above seriously; if it is not, Geoapify may still be the right pick.
What an agent runs into with Geoapify
These are the findings from the last audit on 2026-08-23. Each one is a place unattended software stops, which is the practical reason to look at the list above.
- Make docs reachable without auth or navigation gymnastics.
- Flesh out the OpenAPI: paths, schemas, and descriptions.
- Document error responses as an enum in your OpenAPI.
- Let agents create API keys programmatically.
- Return X-RateLimit / Retry-After headers so agents pace themselves.
- Add /llms.txt so agents can find and read your capabilities.
- Publish an AGENTS.md or llms-full.txt with full agent context.
- Add request examples to your API reference.
