CEPS (Centre for European Policy Studies)

Founded in Brussels in 1983, the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) is a leading independent think tank and forum for debate on EU affairs, with strong in-house research capacity and an extensive network of partner institutes. CEPS conducts evidence-based policy research on European and global issues (Data Governance Act, Data Act, AI Act, climate, energy, migration, trade, defence, financial markets) and disseminates it through publications, events, task forces and podcasts rather than through any programmatic interface. CEPS publishes no API, SDK or developer program, and as of 2026-09-05 has no working machine-readable surface: the RSS feed this record once pointed at returns HTTP 500 ("No feed available") and is robots-disallowed, and no OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, GraphQL SDL, MCP server, A2A agent card or /.well-known/ document exists on any ceps.eu host. Following CEPS now means the newsletter or the HTML listings on ceps.eu.

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 CEPS (Centre for European Policy Studies) the way a machine reads it — 6 machine-readable artifacts across 2 APIs, 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 — CEPS (Centre for European Policy Studies) scores 9.2/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 3/100 (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.

No API surface

Why this profile is thin

CEPS is a Brussels policy research institute whose product is publications and events, not software: it runs no developer program, and the one machine-readable surface it used to serve — the site-wide WordPress RSS feed at /feed/ — now answers HTTP 500 "No feed available" and is Disallow'd in robots.txt, leaving the WordPress REST root the site itself declares at /wp-json/ (also robots-disallowed, and honored unprobed) as the only programmatic thing on the domain.

This is an honest zero, not a gap in our research. CEPS (Centre for European Policy Studies) does not appear to expose an API, so there is nothing here for us to index and nothing for them to fix.

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.

How we profile CEPS (Centre for European Policy Studies)

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for CEPS (Centre for European Policy Studies). 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 2

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of CEPS (Centre for European Policy Studies), 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.
