description: What the APA Corporation surface actually conforms to, judged from the contract and the wire, not from marketing prose. APA is an upstream oil-and-gas explorer and producer with no developer program; the standards it meets are the ones its WordPress platform implements, and the one cross-vendor content standard it genuinely declares is oEmbed 1.0. The energy-sector regulatory standards are recorded here as explicitly not applicable, with the reason stated, rather than silently omitted.
conformance:
- id: oembed-1.0
  label: oEmbed 1.0
  conforms: true
  evidence: GET https://apacorp.com/wp-json/oembed/1.0/embed?url=https://apacorp.com/ returned 200 with a conforming oEmbed payload — version "1.0", provider_name "APA Corporation", provider_url, author_name, title, type, thumbnail and html. Verified 2026-09-14.
  url: https://apacorp.com/wp-json/oembed/1.0/embed?url=https://apacorp.com/
  domain_standard: true
  note: This is the one genuine cross-vendor domain standard the contract declares. It is what lets a third-party surface render an APA newsroom link as a card with no bespoke integration.
- id: rss-2.0
  label: RSS 2.0
  conforms: true
  evidence: GET https://apacorp.com/feed/ returned 200 application/rss+xml with a document root of <rss version="2.0"> carrying the content, wfw, dc, atom and sy modules. Verified 2026-09-14. The feed is also advertised from the homepage <head> as rel="alternate".
  url: https://apacorp.com/feed/
  domain_standard: true
- id: rfc8288-web-linking
  label: RFC 8288 Web Linking
  conforms: true
  evidence: GET /wp-json/wp/v2/posts?per_page=1 returned a Link header of <https://apacorp.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?per_page=1&page=2>; rel="next", and the root document advertises <https://apacorp.com/wp-json/>; rel="https://api.w.org/". Verified 2026-09-14.
- id: cors
  label: W3C Cross-Origin Resource Sharing
  conforms: true
  evidence: Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*", Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET" and Access-Control-Expose-Headers "X-WP-Total, X-WP-TotalPages, Link" observed on every documented route. Verified 2026-09-14.
- id: wp-rest-v2
  label: WordPress REST API wp/v2
  conforms: true
  evidence: The route index at https://apacorp.com/wp-json/ declares namespace wp/v2 with 148 registered routes, and every route answers its own OPTIONS schema document. Verified 2026-09-14.
  domain_standard: true
  note: 'Worth recording as a domain standard in its own right: an integrator who already speaks wp/v2 needs no bespoke connector for this surface, which is most of its practical value.'
- id: rfc9457-problem-details
  label: RFC 9457 Problem Details
  conforms: false
  evidence: Error bodies are the WordPress envelope {code, message, data.status} served as application/json — no type URI, no title, no instance, and not application/problem+json. Observed verbatim on 2026-09-14 at GET /wp/v2/posts/99999999.
- id: oauth2
  label: OAuth 2.0
  conforms: false
  evidence: https://apacorp.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server returned 404 on 2026-09-14.
- id: oidc
  label: OpenID Connect
  conforms: false
  evidence: https://apacorp.com/.well-known/openid-configuration returned 404 on 2026-09-14.
- id: rfc9116-security-txt
  label: RFC 9116 security.txt
  conforms: false
  evidence: https://apacorp.com/.well-known/security.txt returned 404 on 2026-09-14 (and on www.apacorp.com).
- id: rfc8594-sunset-header
  label: RFC 8594 Sunset header
  conforms: false
  evidence: No Sunset or Deprecation header observed on any response on 2026-09-14.
- id: openapi
  label: OpenAPI
  conforms: false
  evidence: APA publishes no OpenAPI. /openapi.json, /openapi.yaml, /swagger.json, /api-docs, /v1/openapi.json and /redoc all returned 404 on apacorp.com on 2026-09-14. The eleven OpenAPI documents in this repository are API Evangelist derivations from the server's own OPTIONS documents, marked as such in each info block, and are not a provider-published contract.
- id: asyncapi
  label: AsyncAPI
  conforms: false
  evidence: No event, streaming or webhook surface exists. No AsyncAPI document was found on any host.
- id: soap-wsdl
  label: SOAP / WSDL
  conforms: false
  evidence: https://apacorp.com/?wsdl and /?singleWsdl both return HTTP 200 — but the body is the WordPress homepage as text/html, because WordPress ignores unrecognised query strings. This is a status-code false positive, not a contract. /services?wsdl and /soap?wsdl return 404. No SOAP surface exists. Checked 2026-09-14.
- id: ogc
  label: OGC API / OWS
  conforms: false
  applicable: false
  evidence: 'No evidence pointed at a geospatial surface, so no blind path probing was done. For completeness the conventional subdomains were resolved and none exists: geo., gis., maps. and data..apacorp.com are all NXDOMAIN as of 2026-09-14. An upstream E&P operator holds substantial geospatial data, but APA publishes none of it.'
- id: grpc-protobuf
  label: gRPC / Protobuf
  conforms: false
  evidence: No .proto published on any APA host, and github.com/apacorp has no public repositories. Checked 2026-09-14.
regulatory:
  regime: Energy & Utilities
  regime_id: energy_utilities
  applicable: false
  basis: 'The Kin Score energy_utilities regime covers customer energy data and network open data — a consumer data right over usage and billing, and network data published under licence conditions. APA Corporation is an upstream exploration-and-production company: it sells hydrocarbons to counterparties, operates no distribution network, holds no retail energy customers and is subject to none of these regimes. Each is recorded below as not applicable with its reason, rather than as a failure.'
  standards:
  - id: cdr-energy-australia
    label: CDR Energy (Australia)
    conforms: false
    applicable: false
    evidence: APA Corporation has no Australian operations and no retail energy customers; the Consumer Data Right energy sector applies to retailers and AEMO-registered participants.
  - id: green-button-espi
    label: Green Button / ESPI (North America)
    conforms: false
    applicable: false
    evidence: Green Button / ESPI standardises a utility customer's own usage data. APA is an upstream producer with no metered end customers.
  - id: smart-energy-code-dcc
    label: Smart Energy Code + DCC (GB)
    conforms: false
    applicable: false
    evidence: APA's UK activity is North Sea offshore production, not a licensed GB supply or network business, so it is not a Smart Energy Code party.
  - id: ofgem-data-best-practice
    label: Ofgem Data Best Practice
    conforms: false
    applicable: false
    evidence: Ofgem Data Best Practice is a licence condition on GB network and supply licensees. APA holds no such licence.
  - id: ferc-order-889-oasis
    label: FERC Order 889 / OASIS (US)
    conforms: false
    applicable: false
    evidence: FERC Order 889 OASIS obligations fall on transmission providers. APA is an E&P operator and does not own transmission.
