scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
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.
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/thingsthinking: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  description: semantha's standardized RESTful web service for semantic processing of text documents and structured data extraction.
    Resources are organized under /api (info, domains/{domain}/referencedocuments, settings, roles, currentuser) and are consumed
    out-of-the-box or via the first-party Python SDK. The service is stateless per request (processed documents are not persisted)
    and enforces HTTPS. The production API base is a per-tenant semantha server URL of the form https://<tenant>/tt-platform-server/api.
