Litecoin

Litecoin is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency network based on the Bitcoin protocol, offering faster block times (2.5 minutes) and lower transaction fees. It exposes a JSON-RPC interface via Litecoin Core for direct node interaction, a built-in unauthenticated REST interface for public blockchain queries, and a Litecoin Space block explorer REST and WebSocket API (mempool.space-compatible) for querying transactions, addresses, blocks, UTXO data, mempool state, and fee estimates.

Litecoin publishes 10 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Addresses API, Blockchain API, Blocks API, and 7 more. Tagged areas include Cryptocurrency, Blockchain, Litecoin, LTC, and Payments.

The Litecoin catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Litecoin’s developer surface includes authentication, engineering blog, changelog, and 12 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Payments 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 Ask about this →
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) Ask about this →
Stable Error Semantics +8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes Ask about this →
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0 Ask about this →
