scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Securities & Market Data 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 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.
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/cledara: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Submit an artifact on GitHub — free → Manage your own listing — the Influence plan, $499/mo →

  description: 'Cledara''s public REST API over your own workspace. As of 2026-09-05 it is three read-only GET operations:
    list applications (software subscriptions with status, owner, teams, budget, balance, next renewal date and expected next
    payment), list transactions (card payments, transfers and account movements, filterable by RFC 3339 date window and application
    id, paged by offset), and fetch a five-minute download URL for a transaction''s invoice. Authentication is a Bearer API
    key self-served in the Cledara app that carries the creating user''s permissions; there are no scopes. Rate limited to
    120 requests per minute per key with X-RateLimit-* headers declared in the contract. There are no write operations, no
    webhooks, no sandbox and no SDKs. The API is included at no extra cost on every Cledara plan.'
