Liberty Global

Liberty Global is a London-headquartered converged connectivity group that owns and operates fixed-broadband and mobile networks across Europe, mostly through joint ventures rather than under its own brand — Virgin Media O2 in the United Kingdom (50/50 with Telefonica), VodafoneZiggo in the Netherlands (50/50 with Vodafone Group), Telenet in Belgium, and Virgin Media Ireland — serving roughly 80 million connections over fibre-rich broadband and 5G. It sits in the value chain as a network owner and holding company, not as a developer-facing platform. Liberty Global has been a GSMA Open Gateway participant since the initiative launched at MWC 2023 and announced a Network-as-a-Service framework with AWS in February 2024 built on CAMARA standard APIs, but its API posture toward developers is partner-gated and indirect: there is no first-party developer portal on libertyglobal.com — the developer.libertyglobal.com hostname advertised on its own GitHub organisation profile does not resolve — and every callable CAMARA network API reaches the market through the operating joint ventures (Virgin Media O2's UK KYC Age Verify, KYC Tenure and SIM Swap APIs; VodafoneZiggo's four Dutch network APIs) or through the operators' shared channels, never from the parent. The only OpenAPI definitions Liberty Global itself publishes are the Apache-2.0 RDK App Store service specs in its public GitHub organisation.

Liberty Global publishes 3 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network: Applications API, Maintainer API, and STB API. Tagged areas include Telecommunications, United Kingdom, Broadband, Fixed Broadband, and Mobile Network Operator.

The Liberty Global catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Liberty Global’s developer surface includes engineering blog, authentication, changelog, sandbox, and 25 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Telecommunications 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
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
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)

7 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

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.

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
Network Edge (CDN, networking, peering, edge compute)	standard	37.7 (thin)	-	-
Broadcast Television (ATSC 3.0 / NEXTGEN TV, HbbTV, DVB)	standard	37.7 (thin)	-	-

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 implemented 2

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.
