We have now plunged screaming into November and the election from hell. But, to cheer us up, we're going to look at API ratings for the last week! We launched API.expert earlier in the year as a simple way to provide everybody with insights into the API economy and the leading API ratings in different categories in particular. We are expanding our coverage of Open Finance APIs from around the world, so one of the major changes we made recently to these API ratings round-ups has been to pull out the financial APIs. Look out for the separate weekly and monthly reports on financial APIs. Now, onto what the past week tells us about the world’s non-financial APIs as we dive into API ratings and stride boldly into November 2020.

We look at over 100 APIs, but pull all the metrics together to give you a general feeling for the service quality for an organization’s APIs in a particular category.
