Farm Credit Administration

The Farm Credit Administration (FCA) is an independent US federal agency that regulates and examines the Farm Credit System (FCS) — a nationwide network of cooperatively owned banks and associations providing credit and financial services to farmers, ranchers, agricultural cooperatives and rural infrastructure — and the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (Farmer Mac). FCA publishes no developer portal, no API documentation and no OpenAPI, and its own digital strategy still lists "make existing high-value data and content available through web APIs" as Not begun, due May 2013. It does, however, serve one live, anonymous, machine-readable API that is linked from no developer page: an Esri ArcGIS Server REST surface at wgis.fca.gov publishing Farm Credit System institution headquarters, branch offices and chartered-territory polygons as JSON, GeoJSON and PBF, keyed on the UNINUM institution identifier that also keys the quarterly Call Report bulk downloads.

Farm Credit Administration is listed with 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Agriculture, Farms, Federal Government, Finance, and Regulations.

Farm Credit Administration’s developer surface includes support, product news, YouTube channel, authentication, code examples, and 35 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.

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.

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/.

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

Machine-Readable Contract +18 pts — api_specs includes an OpenAPI document
MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
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

8 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

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

Contract Quality scores 6.5 — up to +23.4 composite points
Access Clarity scores 10.5 — up to +17.9 composite points
Developer Ergonomics scores 25.6 — up to +14.9 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/farm-credit-administration/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/farm-credit-administration to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.

Markets this provider is in provisional

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.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
Consumer Lending Licensing (UK, US, Canada credit licence registers)	undeclared	-	-	-
US Federal API Programs (api.data.gov, Login.gov, GSA MAS, FedRAMP)	undeclared	-	-	-

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.
