Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Education & Research 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/.

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 github.com/api-evangelist/moodle: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

APIs 12

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Moodle Web Services API

Exposes Moodle functionality as web services so external programs can integrate with a Moodle site for users, courses, enrollments, grading, and other operations. Supports REST,...

Moodle External Functions API

Allows developers to expose parametrized functions to external systems, forming the basis of Moodle's web services and powering integrations consumed via REST, SOAP, and XML-RPC.

Moodle Access API

Provides functions to determine what the current user is allowed to do, checking roles, capabilities, and permissions across system, course, and activity contexts.

Moodle Roles API

An extension of the Access API that defines the set of actions a user is allowed to perform on certain system levels through assignable roles and capabilities.

Moodle Data Manipulation API (DML)

Enables safe, consistent database read and write operations across Moodle, abstracting the underlying database driver and providing helpers for common query patterns.

Moodle File API

Manages file storage across plugins, providing a unified interface for uploading, retrieving, and serving files associated with users, courses, and activities.

Moodle Form API

Defines and processes user data submitted through web forms, including validation, rendering, and persistence.

Moodle Events API

Defines event handlers for inter-plugin communication and logging, enabling decoupled, observer-style integrations across Moodle.

Moodle Hooks API

Enables indirect communication between core and plugins through well-defined extension points, allowing plugins to react to and modify core behavior.

Moodle Privacy API

Describes stored personal data and supports discovery, export, and deletion of user data across plugins for GDPR and similar privacy compliance.

Moodle Task API

Executes background jobs on a schedule or as one-off operations, allowing plugins to defer long-running work to cron processing.

Moodle Payment API

Manages payment processing in Moodle, providing pluggable payment gateways for paid enrollments and other monetized features.
