La Ruche qui dit Oui!

La Ruche qui dit Oui! is a French direct-from-farmer food marketplace, founded in Paris in 2010 and known in English-speaking markets as The Food Assembly. It connects members with local and European producers through neighbourhood assemblies ("ruches" / hives) and, since a May 2025 merger with CrowdFarming, through direct home delivery of seasonal boxes, subscriptions and harvest "adoptions" in which a member reserves the output of a specific tree, hive or plot for a season. The company operated a public member-facing REST API documented as the Food Assembly API — OAuth 2 token issuance, assembly membership, distribution product and offer listings, and the basket/order payment flow — published as an API Blueprint in the lrqdo/developer repository. That developer documentation has not been updated since 2017, and there is no current developer portal, but the API host remains live behind bearer authentication.

La Ruche qui dit Oui! is listed with 4 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Assemblies API, Authentication API, Orders API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Company, Food, Agriculture, Marketplace, and E-Commerce.

The La Ruche qui dit Oui! catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

La Ruche qui dit Oui!’s developer surface includes authentication, support, signup flow, engineering blog, and 15 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.

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.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. 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
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
Rate-Limit Signaling +7 pts — OpenAPI responses document X-RateLimit-* / RateLimit headers (verified), else a rate_limits artifact or RateLimits link (documented)
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document

9 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

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/la-ruche-qui-dit-oui/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/la-ruche-qui-dit-oui to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.
