Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Telecommunications 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.

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

  note: Documentation, the OpenAPI and the MCP reference are all public and unauthenticated. Keys are not self-service — both
    the REST docs and the MCP page route "Get an API key" to a sales contact form. Platform tiers publish named prices ($1,200
    / $2,520 / $4,000 per month) with a 14-day trial on the lower two; the MCP page publishes a separate ladder starting at
    $0. The two ladders disagree about what API access costs — recorded in plans/alphaloops-plans-pricing.yml.
