Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Amazon Web Services is the cloud computing arm of Amazon and the largest public cloud provider in the world, offering more than 200 services across compute, storage, databases, networking, analytics, machine learning, security and developer tooling from data centers in dozens of Regions. Nearly every service is API-first: capacity is created, configured and destroyed through signed HTTPS calls, and the console, the AWS CLI and the CloudFormation and CDK toolchains are all clients of the same control plane. Requests are authenticated with AWS Signature Version 4 and authorized by IAM policy rather than by OAuth scope, versioned with a dated API version parameter instead of a URL path, and paginated uniformly with MaxResults and NextToken. Pricing is usage-based per service with a credit-capped Free Tier for new accounts rather than API request plans.
Reference-quality API operations across every facet — a rich contract, published governance, transparent operations, and machine-readable commercial terms.
API Evangelist profiles Amazon Web Services (AWS) the way a machine reads it — 29 machine-readable artifacts 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 — Amazon Web Services (AWS) scores 78.2/100 (exemplar), with a separate agent-readiness read of 39/100 (agent ready). 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. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.
Put this on your own site. The badge is drawn live from Amazon Web Services (AWS)'s current Kin Score — paste it once and it updates itself every time the score is recomputed. It follows your visitor's light or dark setting, and it links back here so anyone who sees it can read the full breakdown.

How we profile Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Amazon Web Services (AWS). 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 8
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.
Amazon Bedrock API
Amazon Bedrock is a fully managed service that provides access to foundation models from leading AI companies for building generative AI applications.
Amazon VPC API
Amazon Virtual Private Cloud lets you define and launch AWS resources in a logically isolated virtual network with full control over your networking environment.
Amazon Aurora API
Amazon Aurora is a MySQL and PostgreSQL-compatible relational database built for the cloud that combines the performance and availability of traditional enterprise databases wit...
Amazon EBS API
Amazon Elastic Block Store provides persistent block storage volumes for use with Amazon EC2 instances in the AWS Cloud.
AWS Fargate API
AWS Fargate is a serverless compute engine for containers that works with both Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS removing the need to manage servers.
Amazon Keyspaces API
Amazon Keyspaces is a scalable, highly available, and managed Apache Cassandra-compatible database service for running Cassandra workloads in the cloud.
AWS Transit Gateway API
AWS Transit Gateway connects VPCs and on-premises networks through a central hub simplifying your network and putting an end to complex peering relationships.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) Amazon EC2 API API
The Amazon EC2 API API from Amazon Web Services (AWS) — 1 operation(s) for amazon ec2 api.

Postman Collections 1
A runnable collection turns the contract into something a developer can execute in seconds. We profile them because the fastest way to trust an API is to make a real call against it.
Ready-to-run Postman collections for exercising this provider's APIs.
Open Collections 3
Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.
Open, tool-agnostic API collections (OpenAPI-derived and Bruno).
API Collection
OPEN COLLECTIONAmazon EC2 Amazon EC2 API API

OPEN COLLECTIONMCP Servers 1
Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.
Model Context Protocol servers that expose these APIs to AI agents.
GraphQL 1
Where a provider ships GraphQL, the schema is the contract. We profile it alongside the REST surface so the whole interface is legible in one place.
GraphQL schemas published by this provider.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) GraphQL API
AWS AppSync creates serverless GraphQL and Pub/Sub APIs that simplify application development through a single endpoint for data querying, updating, and publishing.
GRAPHQLPricing Plans 1
Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the things the Kin Score reads for access clarity — renamed from commercial clarity in rubric 0.12, because a free statutory interface has access terms and no commercial ones.
Published pricing tiers and plan structures.
Rate Limits 1
Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.
Documented rate limits and quota policies.
Amazon Web Services Aws Rate Limits
RATE LIMITSFinOps 1
Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.
Cost, billing, and metering signals for API financial operations.
Features 2
The notable capabilities this provider advertises, captured as structured features so they can be searched and compared instead of read one landing page at a time.

Automation
Automate operational tasks with Amazon Web Services AWS.
API Access
Programmatic access to Amazon Web Services AWS resources.
Event Specifications 1
Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.
AsyncAPI definitions for this provider's event-driven and streaming APIs.
Amazon Web Services Aws Events
ASYNCAPISemantic Vocabularies 1
JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.
JSON-LD contexts and semantic vocabularies used across these APIs.
Spectral Rules 1
Governance rulesets we run against this provider's specs — the automated checks behind parts of the score. Profiling them makes the quality bar explicit and re-runnable, not a matter of opinion.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) API Rules
SPECTRALExamples 1
Real request and response payloads are what turn a spec from abstract into obvious — and they're one of the twelve things an agent needs to call an API correctly on the first try.
Example request and response payloads for these APIs.
Security Posture 4
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals.

SECURITYAgentic Access 1
An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
Recommended x-agentic-access execution contracts for AI agents.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Amazon Web Services (AWS), published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.
The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.
Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
