Crowd.dev

Crowd.dev is an open-source developer data platform that centralizes community, product, and commercial data to unify contributor identities, resolve who is engaging with an open-source project, and activate that data for developer relations and community-led growth. Founded in Berlin and backed by Seedcamp, crowd.dev was acquired by the Linux Foundation in April 2024 and now powers the LFX Community Data Platform (CDP). The codebase is Apache-2.0 open source at github.com/CrowdDotDev (now linuxfoundation/crowd.dev), and the CDP Public API exposes transactional REST endpoints for member and organization profiles, identity verification, work-experience and project-affiliation management, contributor affiliation lookups, and open-source package/stewardship intelligence.

Crowd.dev publishes 16 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Advisories API, Affiliations API, Contacts API, and 13 more. Tagged areas include Company, Community, Developer Relations, Developer Data Platform, and Identity Resolution.

The Crowd.dev catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Crowd.dev’s developer surface includes pricing, authentication, documentation, getting-started guide, API reference, support, signup flow, and 31 more developer resources.

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 applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document
Delegated User Identity +6 pts — a served discovery document listing authorization_code in grant_types_supported (served), else an oauth2 authorizationCode flow or openIdConnect declared in an OpenAPI (documented)
Typed Event Surface +6 pts — AsyncAPI document, OR webhooks/callbacks objects in the as-published OpenAPI, OR common[].type includes Webhooks

6 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):

Contract Quality scores 52.1 — up to +12.0 composite points
Access Clarity scores 52.6 — up to +9.5 composite points
Contract Governance scores 31.8 — up to +8.2 composite points

Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.

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 the provider profile at artifacts.apis.io/crowddev/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/crowddev to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.
