African Rainbow Minerals

African Rainbow Minerals Limited (ARM) is a niche, diversified South African mining and minerals company, founded by Dr Patrice Motsepe and created in its present form in May 2004 through the merger of ARMgold and Harmony assets. ARM is listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange under the ticker ARI and is headquartered in Sandton, Gauteng. The company mines and beneficiates iron ore, manganese ore and alloys, chrome ore, platinum group metals, nickel and coal through ARM Ferrous, ARM Platinum and ARM Coal, plus a strategic gold investment in Harmony Gold Mining Company — spanning Khumani iron ore, Black Rock manganese, Two Rivers, Modikwa and Bokoni platinum, Nkomati nickel, Goedgevonden coal and Sakura Ferroalloys in Malaysia. ARM sells physical mined commodity, not software: it runs no developer program and publishes no public API, SDK, webhook or machine-readable API contract of any kind.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

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/africanrainbowminerals: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  reason: not-a-software-company
  detail: African Rainbow Minerals is a JSE-listed South African mining house that sells iron ore, manganese, chrome, PGMs,
    nickel and coal, and its only web property is a 30-page WordPress corporate/investor site (arm.co.za) whose sitemap contains
    no developer, docs, portal, API or integration page at all; every OpenAPI, Swagger, GraphQL, MCP, llms.txt and agent-card
    path probed on arm.co.za returned a hard 404 with an empty body (a random control path 404s the same way, so these are
    real misses and not an SPA catch-all), no api./dev./docs./developer./ portal./data./gis./geo./maps. subdomain resolves
    in DNS on either arm.co.za or arm-online.co.za, and the only machine-readable surface on the domain is the stock WordPress
    /wp-json/wp/v2 route index, which describes the CMS that renders the investor site rather than any African Rainbow Minerals
    product, so it was deliberately not registered as a contract.
