Drata scores C+ on Supergood's API Report Card. Drata offers a documented V2 REST API with OAuth 2.0, scoped API keys, and webhooks through a public developer portal. Access is real but gated behind paid plan tiers and a sales-led purchase, so open API use lands on higher plans.

Supergood's grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? Supergood checks six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and rolls them into a letter grade. Supergood re-verifies grades, and they only move on evidence.
