Basel III
Basel III is a comprehensive global regulatory framework developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) in response to the 2007-2008 financial crisis. It strengthens bank capital requirements by requiring higher quality and quantity of capital (CET1, Tier 1, Total Capital), introduces new liquidity standards (LCR and NSFR), adds a leverage ratio backstop, and includes countercyclical capital buffers and G-SIB surcharges. Basel III implementation in the EU/UK is delivered via CRD IV/V and CRR regulations. The final Basel III package (sometimes called Basel IV) addresses output floor and credit risk model constraints introduced in 2017.
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.
API Evangelist profiles Basel III the way a machine reads it — 23 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 — Basel III scores 12.1/100 (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.

Semantic 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.

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 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.
