Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

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/evolv: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  note: Found and saved Evolv's own published Postman Collection v2 (7 operations, saved response examples) at developers.evolv.ai
    — the machine-readable contract earlier rounds had missed. Probed the live Participant API for its real error envelope
    and header behaviour. Recorded that the evolv.ai marketing site now answers HTTP 401 (Squarespace "Private Site") on every
    path while the API, docs and console stay live.
