Why this name ranks here

API is assessed as a position for software, infrastructure and digital services. Its researched evidence includes 10 primary-source application IDs for the proposed .api string. The strategic, commercial, future, linguistic and N-o1-fit inputs are editorial judgments. Missing sale, registration and search evidence is left unknown rather than invented.

Scarcity: Exact N-o1 names are exclusive under existing namespace terms. Registry delegation or an application does not establish second-level availability or quantified scarcity.
