AMQP

AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol) is an open standard for message-oriented middleware governed by OASIS and standardized as ISO/IEC 19464. AMQP 1.0 enables interoperable, asynchronous communication between applications across different platforms and vendors. It defines a wire-level protocol supporting reliable queuing, flexible routing, publish/subscribe, and request/reply messaging patterns. Major implementations include Apache ActiveMQ/Artemis, RabbitMQ, Azure Service Bus, Red Hat AMQ, and Apache Qpid.

human only

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles AMQP the way a machine reads it — 50 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 — AMQP scores 44.3/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 13/100 (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.

How we profile AMQP

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for AMQP. 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.

AMQP Messaging API

AsyncAPI specification for AMQP messaging patterns including publish/subscribe, request/reply, and point-to-point messaging via exchanges, queues, and bindings.

Pricing 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 six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

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.

FinOps 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.

Features 8

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.

Notable capabilities this provider offers.

Reliable Messaging

Guaranteed delivery with acknowledgment and persistence support.

Flexible Routing

Exchange types (direct, fanout, topic, headers) for flexible message routing.

Publish/Subscribe

Fan-out delivery to multiple consumers via topic and fanout exchanges.

Request/Reply

Synchronous RPC patterns over asynchronous messaging infrastructure.

Transaction Support

Transactional message publishing and acknowledgment for data consistency.

Security

SASL authentication and TLS encryption for secure message transport.

Flow Control

Credit-based flow control preventing consumer overload (AMQP 1.0).

Multi-Vendor Interoperability

Wire-level protocol interoperability across different broker implementations.

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.

Semantic Vocabularies 6

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 Schema 5

Standalone JSON Schema definitions describe the data models behind the API. We profile them so the shapes are validatable on their own — useful long after a single request is forgotten.

Security Posture 1

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.
