National Hockey League
The National Hockey League (NHL) is the premier professional ice hockey league in North America, comprised of 32 franchises across the United States and Canada. The NHL produces the Stanley Cup playoffs and is one of the major North American professional sports leagues. The NHL does not publish an officially documented developer portal; the league operates undocumented JSON endpoints used by its first-party web and mobile apps (api-web.nhle.com) and provides advanced statistics through NHL EDGE. Commercial data feeds are licensed through SMT, Sportradar, and other approved partners.
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.
API Evangelist profiles National Hockey League the way a machine reads it — 12 machine-readable artifacts across 9 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 — National Hockey League scores 20.4/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 32/100 (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.

OPEN COLLECTIONSecurity 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.

Agentic 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.
