The substrate-layer API position for machine-readable attribution infrastructure.

A precise technical coordinate for the programmatic interface through which attribution — credit, provenance, and source-tracing — is queried, assigned, and enforced across AI systems.

Coordinated sets this position belongs to — the coverage it extends. Counts are the live cluster size in the graph.

Why this is canonical

Attribution APIs are the technical substrate through which provenance and credit data moves between systems: from content platforms querying AI training data to agentic pipelines recording decision lineage. 'Attribution API' is the natural phrase engineers reach for when describing this interface layer. On .com, it stakes the category-level position for any team building the canonical interface standard for machine-readable attribution.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

Content and IP provenance
An API layer that lets platforms, publishers, and AI systems query and record attribution for training data, generated content, and derivative works.
Content platforms, AI training infrastructure builders, digital rights management tools
Agentic decision lineage
A programmatic interface for recording and querying decision attribution across agent pipelines — who decided what, on what basis.
AI governance tooling builders, enterprise compliance platforms, agentic workflow infrastructure

Illustrative, not exhaustive — held as a transferable canonical position, open to the buyer's own use.
