California Attorney General
The California Attorney General is the chief law officer of the State of California and heads the California Department of Justice (DOJ). The office runs OpenJustice, the DOJ Criminal Justice Statistics Center's open-data initiative, whose Open Data Portal publishes 26 criminal-justice datasets (Arrests, Crimes and Clearances, Homicide, Hate Crime, Use of Force, RIPA stop data, deaths in custody and more) as CSV/XLSX/ZIP files with context PDFs. The DOJ publishes no developer portal, API documentation or OpenAPI, but the OpenJustice single-page app reads its content from a live, anonymous, standards-conformant JSON:API 1.0 surface at https://data-openjustice.doj.ca.gov/jsonapi (Drupal 9) carrying every dataset, its distributions, the CJSC publications and the data stories — verified here. The California Data Broker Registry that first brought this office into the catalog is now maintained by the California Privacy Protection Agency, per the AG's own page, and is attributed there.
California Attorney General publishes 7 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Content API, Discovery API, Feedback API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include State Government, California, Criminal Justice, Open Data, and Law Enforcement.
California Attorney General’s developer surface includes documentation, support, engineering blog, and 14 more developer resources.
Kin Score
Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
| Market | Position | Depth | Registered MCP server | Declares compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Open Data Portals (CKAN / DCAT) | undeclared | - | - | - |
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
