Westar Energy
Westar Energy was the largest electric utility in Kansas, providing electric service to homes, businesses, and industries throughout Kansas before merging with Great Plains Energy in 2018 to form Evergy, Inc. As Evergy, the company continues to serve approximately 1.6 million customers in Kansas and Missouri with a focus on grid modernization, smart metering (AMI) through its Gridstream Connect IoT platform, and clean energy transformation including wind power and demand response programs.
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 Westar Energy the way a machine reads it — 11 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 — Westar Energy scores 10.2/100 (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.
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.
