SpectrumOutage API

Community-powered REST API for live Spectrum internet, TV, and phone outage data across the United States, published by SpectrumOutage.us — an independent outage tracker with no affiliation to Charter Communications or Spectrum. The v1 API exposes eight operations over crowdsourced outage reports: national dashboard statistics with an hourly timeline and service breakdown, a paginated report feed, outage submission, city and state lookups by slug, ZIP-code status (issues_reported / all_clear) with the reports behind it, and map pin/cluster data over a 1h, 24h or 48h window. Access is a bearer API key issued manually by email, or through a free RapidAPI plan; the provider also publishes an OpenAPI 3.0.3 specification, an agent-facing llm.txt on both hosts, a Postman collection, and an open outage dataset mirrored to GitHub, Hugging Face, Kaggle and Figshare.

SpectrumOutage API publishes 4 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Locations API, Map API, Reports API, and 1 more. Tagged areas include Spectrum, Outage, Internet, TV, and Phone.

The SpectrumOutage API catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

SpectrumOutage API’s developer surface includes engineering blog, authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, pricing, and 21 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Telecommunications 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
Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
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
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document
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)

7 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

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

x-pointers-deliberately-omitted:
  MCPServer: mcp/spectrumoutage-api-mcp.yml is a DERIVED candidate tool list, not a served MCP endpoint. The provider publishes
    no hosted MCP server (/mcp and /.well-known/mcp.json 404 on both hosts), so wiring an MCPServer pointer would credit an
    agent surface that does not exist.
  WellKnown: All 18 /.well-known/ paths probed across both hosts returned 404. well-known/ records that verified absence;
    there is no served document to point at.
  AgentCard: /.well-known/agent-card.json and /.well-known/agent.json both 404 on both hosts. Per the pipeline this artifact
    is search-only, so nothing was written.
  StatusPage: The provider is a status surface for a THIRD party (Charter Spectrum) and publishes no status page for its own
    API. https://spectrumoutage.us/status returns 404.
  Deprecation: no deprecation policy and no RFC 8594 Sunset/Deprecation header support is published.
  Security: No security.txt, no vulnerability disclosure page and no bug bounty were found by probe-security-programs.py or
    by hand.
  Compliance: no certifications, trust center or compliance program is published.
  SDKs: no first-party client library exists in any public registry; packages/ records the zero.
  Idempotency: POST /reports has no idempotency key and no request-deduplication contract; a retry creates a duplicate report.
  AsyncAPI: no event, streaming or webhook surface is documented.
  SignUp: API keys are issued only by email; there is no self-service signup on the provider's own site.
