Limbo Labs was, in its own words, "a small technical team in san francisco" whose products were to "begin launching in july 2010". The company surfaced in the 500 Global portfolio listing and was added to the API Evangelist network as a lead. Enrichment found no company to enrich: limbolabs.com carried a single-page placeholder from 2010 through roughly 2015 and never grew past it — an Internet Archive enumeration of the domain returns only eleven distinct captured URLs, all of them the one landing page plus its stylesheets, jQuery and four images. No product, developer portal, API reference, OpenAPI or Swagger document, SDK or machine-readable specification was ever published or archived. By 2018 the domain served a JavaScript-wall parking page, and it now redirects to an Afternic "for sale" lander, so the brand is retired. The website URL carried on the inbound 500 Global portfolio record, readyforzero.com, is a mis-joined row: it belongs to ReadyForZero, a separate 500 Global personal-finance company, and it no longer resolves. This profile is retained as a historical, defunct-provider record with no active API surface.
Limbo Labs (limbolabs.com) is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Defunct, San Francisco, and Software.
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 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 Auth+10 pts — a served openid-configuration/oauth-authorization-server carrying `issuer` (served), else the securitySchemes class in the provider OpenAPIs — bound (mutualTLS, DPoP, Signature) > negotiable (oauth2 authorizationCode/clientCredentials, openIdConnect) > bearer (http bearer, apiKey)
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)
Stable Error Semantics+8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
13 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.
