Open source cloud computing platform for building and managing public and private clouds, providing infrastructure as a service (IaaS) through a set of interrelated services including Compute (Nova), Object Storage (Swift), Block Storage (Cinder), Networking (Neutron), Identity (Keystone), Image (Glance), Orchestration (Heat), Database (Trove), DNS (Designate), and Load Balancer (Octavia). Each service exposes its own REST API; clients authenticate against Keystone and use the returned service catalog to discover per-region endpoints for the remaining services.
OpenStack publishes 22 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Domains API, Endpoints API, Flavors API, and 19 more. Tagged areas include OpenStack, Cloud Platform, Infrastructure-as-a-Service, Open Source, and Virtualization.
The OpenStack catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
OpenStack’s developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, documentation, getting-started guide, engineering blog, and 14 more developer resources.

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 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
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
A2A Agent Card+8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Request/Response Examples+7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link
Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
