Alcoa

Alcoa Corporation is a global industry leader in bauxite, alumina, and aluminum production. Founded in 1888, Alcoa operates mines, refineries, and smelters across Australia, Brazil, Canada, Iceland, Norway, Saudi Arabia, and the United States. The company is a Fortune 500 member and one of the world's largest aluminum producers, supplying lightweight, high-strength materials to automotive, aerospace, packaging, construction, and industrial markets. Alcoa is committed to sustainability through low-carbon aluminum production, responsible bauxite mining, and advancing aluminum recycling.

human only

Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Alcoa the way a machine reads it — 19 machine-readable artifacts, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Alcoa scores 13.2/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.
