Yoast SEO Abilities API is one of 12 APIs that [Yoast](https://apis.io/providers/yoast/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Abilities, Agent Readiness, Content Analysis, and WordPress. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, and an API reference.

Yoast SEO registers its content-analysis results as WordPress Abilities (the Abilities API introduced in WordPress 6.9), making them discoverable and executable over the WordPress REST API by AI agents and third-party systems. Three read-only abilities — yoast-seo/get-seo-scores, yoast-seo/get-readability-scores and yoast-seo/get-inclusive-language-scores — return the analysis scores of the most recently modified posts.
