OData

OData (Open Data Protocol) is an OASIS standard that defines best practices for building and consuming RESTful APIs. It enables the creation of query-based data services over HTTP, providing a uniform way to describe data and data models, query and edit data, and perform batch operations.

OData publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: $Batch API, $Metadata API, and OData Service API API. Tagged areas include OASIS Standard, OData, Open Data Protocol, Query Language, and RESTful APIs.

OData’s developer surface includes documentation, engineering blog, and 5 more developer resources.

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.

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/odata: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
