FIWARE

FIWARE is an open-source framework that provides a curated set of standards and components for context information management. The cornerstone is the NGSI-LD API standardized by ETSI ISG CIM, which allows applications to provide, consume, and subscribe to context information in smart cities, smart industry, smart agriculture, and smart energy scenarios.

FIWARE publishes 12 APIs on the APIs.io network, including API Entry Point API, Attribute Value API, Attributes API, and 9 more. Tagged areas include Context Information, Devices, Internet of Things, Linked Data, and NGSI.

FIWARE’s developer surface includes documentation, engineering blog, and 6 more developer resources.

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