Create-or-Update Ergonomics does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to upsert.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/5dollarfootballapi: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

x-evidence:
  round: '2026-08-19'
  admitted_from: Add-API parked queue. Submitted TWICE — e9f4ce5d 04:48 UTC (confidence 8) and 9ebe84a1 07:24 UTC (confidence
    3), same slug, both parked no_consumable_surface.
  why_the_gate_was_wrong: 'Both dossiers state the domain was "unreachable on every request" with "zero web footprint". That
    was not true when checked at 2026-08-19 ~10:15 UTC: the homepage, all seven declared pointers, the apis.json, the llms.txt
    and a valid 169KB OpenAPI all return 200. The site was most likely not yet live when they submitted, and they resubmitted
    three hours later. The gate declined a real provider for a transient reason.'
  verified_2026_08_19:
    openapi.json: 200 application/json 169,269b — valid OpenAPI 3.1.0, 15 paths, 15 operations, 7 declared tags, securitySchemes
      bearerAuth + apiKeyHeader
    llms.txt: 200 text/plain 6,106b — real, not an HTML error page
    apis.json: 200 application/json 2,771b
    seven_declared_pointers: docs, openapi.json, pricing, signup, docs/changelog, terms, privacy — all 200 with DISTINCT md5s
      and sizes, so not an SPA catch-all
    negative_control: https://5dollarfootballapi.com/zzz-not-real-9137 -> 404, so the 200s above are genuine
  defect_to_report: 'Their apis.json carries created: 2026-08-19 with modified: 2026-08-01 — modified precedes created. The
    gate flagged this correctly and it is worth telling them.'
  not_credited: api.5dollarfootballapi.com/v1 returns the website 404 page rather than an API root. Noted, not scored — a
    404 on an API host root is normal.
