U.S. Access Board
The U.S. Access Board is an independent federal agency that promotes equality for people with disabilities through the development of accessibility guidelines and standards. The Board develops criteria for accessibility in the built environment, transportation, communication, and information and communication technology (ICT). It enforces the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) for federally funded facilities and provides technical assistance, training, and guidance documents to help organizations implement accessibility requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.
Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.
API Evangelist profiles U.S. Access Board the way a machine reads it — 20 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 — U.S. Access Board scores 30.9/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 7/100 (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 U.S. Access Board
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for U.S. Access Board. 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.
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.

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.

Notable capabilities this provider offers.
ADA Accessibility Standards
Minimum accessibility guidelines for places of public accommodation, commercial facilities, and state and local government facilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Section 508 ICT Standards
Technical and functional requirements for information and communication technology procured or developed by federal agencies under Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.

Guidance Documents
Comprehensive guidance documents, animations, and technical aids explaining how to apply accessibility standards in practice.
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.
JSON-LD contexts and semantic vocabularies used across these APIs.

JSON-LDSecurity 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.
