Community-maintained RESTful and GraphQL API exposing a database of 9,820+ Disney characters and the films, short films, TV shows, video games, and park attractions they appear in. The project (BSD-3-Clause) is developed in the open by Manu Castrillon at https://github.com/ManuCastrillonM/disney-api and documented at https://disneyapi.dev. The REST surface is unauthenticated and read-only. Disney and Disney characters are trademarks of The Walt Disney Company; this project is community fan-content and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Disney.
Disney API is listed with 3 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Characters API, Index API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Entertainment, Characters, Disney, Open Source, and Fan API.
The Disney API catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.
Disney API’s developer surface includes documentation, signup flow, code examples, and 26 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.
Open Source Surface applies to this provider. This product is open source and we
read its repository directly, so Open Source Surface carries
10 points of the composite. It is scored from what the repository actually
publishes — a security policy, a contribution guide, a release history, a code of conduct — read live from the
provider rather than inferred from our own catalog pointers.
This facet adds; nothing was taken away to make room for it. An open-source project is not excused from
the commercial facets, because exemption would strip it of the points it does earn.
If we have the wrong repository, or this product is not open source, say so on your
provider repo and we
will drop the facet rather than have you publish against 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 75 points between them,
because both conditional facets apply and carry
25 points together. 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
A2A Agent Card+8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
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
Agent Skills+5 pts — skills artifact present, graded by who authored it
4 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.
Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):
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.
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.
Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
