AlphaLoops FMCSA Carrier Data API

The carrier data layer for freight — FMCSA motor-carrier intelligence covering carrier profiles, authority & insurance history, VIN-level fleet data, roadside inspections, crashes, corporate connections, decision-maker contacts, and risk/watchlist monitoring. Exposes a REST API, a live OpenAPI 3.1 contract, a hosted MCP server with 30+ tools, and published Python/TypeScript SDKs plus a CLI.

More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles AlphaLoops FMCSA Carrier Data API the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact across 1 API, 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 — AlphaLoops FMCSA Carrier Data API scores 17.9/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 17/100 (agent aware). 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.

How we profile AlphaLoops FMCSA Carrier Data API

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for AlphaLoops FMCSA Carrier Data API. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 1

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.
