Medicaid Open Data

Medicaid Open Data is a federal government open-data portal for United States running DKAN. It exposes the DKAN catalog API, a standardized machine-readable interface over approximately 255 datasets, supporting programmatic dataset search, metadata retrieval, and resource access. Because it runs DKAN, it shares a consistent API surface with every other DKAN portal, making it uniformly harvestable and integrable.

Medicaid Open Data publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Open Data, DKAN, Data Catalog, DCAT, and Government Data.

Medicaid Open Data’s developer surface includes documentation and 6 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Government & Public Sector 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/.
