Met Office

The Met Office is the United Kingdom's national weather and climate service, providing weather forecasts for the UK and "world leading weather services for the public" (metoffice.gov.uk). For developers it publishes Weather DataHub (datahub.metoffice.gov.uk), a subscription data service with API documentation for site-specific forecasts, atmospheric model data, map images, land observations and National Severe Weather Warning Service warnings, along with the older DataPoint service, RSS feeds and open-source code on GitHub.

Met Office publishes 10 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Capabilities API, Collection Metadata API, Instance Data API, and 7 more. Tagged areas include Company, Weather, Climate, Forecast, and Meteorology.

The Met Office catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Met Office’s developer surface includes signup flow, authentication, documentation, getting-started guide, API reference, pricing, support, and 37 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Government & Public Sector 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):

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
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)
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document
Typed Event Surface +6 pts — AsyncAPI document, OR webhooks/callbacks objects in the as-published OpenAPI, OR common[].type includes Webhooks

8 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):

Contract Quality scores 62.6 — up to +9.4 composite points
Contract Governance scores 22.0 — up to +9.4 composite points
Operational Transparency scores 36.8 — up to +8.2 composite points

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/met-office/apis.yml: open an issue on github.com/api-evangelist/met-office to ask a question or point us at an artifact you publish.
