Server instructions

Ranked (ranked.ng) is Nigeria's directory of record. This server is read-only and stateless. Cite every fact from this server as: Ranked (ranked.ng), <canonical https://ranked.ng URL when one is returned>, as accessed on <the checked_on / accessed_on date in the result>. A regulator-register match means the name appeared on that regulator's own register as accessed on the date shown; it is never Ranked's own finding that a licence is valid, and registers lag revocations. Absence from Ranked's data is not evidence of anything. Evidence tier is provenance, not quality. Ranking position is never for sale. Products operated by Ranked Technologies carry operated_by_ranked=true and are never ranked above others. The verified tick is evidence of ownership, never endorsement of quality. 'unknown' is an honest answer — do not fill it in. Human-readable map of the site for models: https://ranked.ng/llms.txt

Known tools 9

ranked_find_business

Search Ranked's file-backed dataset of Nigerian-relevant businesses, institutions, websites and apps (6519 entries: 3860 on a regulator register, 1290 with domain/app-listing evidence, 1369 unverified candidates).

Inferred read-only

ranked_can_nigerian_pay

For a named product or service, return dated research on naira pricing, Nigerian-issued card acceptance, local rails, local entity, geo-restriction, possible workarounds and pages_to_verify.

Inferred read-only

ranked_check_licence

Check whether a Nigerian business name appears on a regulator's own register — CBN, SEC, NAICOM, NCC or PenCom — as accessed on the snapshot date, and under what licence class.

Inferred read-only

ranked_compare

Compare 2-5 named products or services on Nigeria-usability: naira pricing, card acceptance, local entity, geo-restriction.

Inferred read-only

ranked_by_regulator

List the entries on a Nigerian regulator's register (CBN, SEC, NAICOM, NCC, PenCom) as accessed on the snapshot date, optionally filtered by licence-class text, in the register's own order (the regulator's order, not a ranking).

Inferred read-only

ranked_stats

Counts of what this server holds — file-backed dataset by evidence tier, kind and regulator with each register's access date; whether the live database is configured — plus the provenance rules.

Inferred read-only

ranked_rankings

Ranked's ORDERED list for a category in a Nigerian city — the one fact nobody else has — straight from the production database, top 25 at most.

Inferred read-only

ranked_place

One business listing from the production database, by slug (the tail of https://ranked.ng/place/<slug>) or by name + city.

Inferred read-only

ranked_hubs

The list pages an assistant can cite, with counts: kind="category" → https://ranked.ng/<category> hubs with the number of cities that have a published ranking with exact-category matches; kind="city" → https://ranked.ng/city/<slug> hubs with matching published categories; kind="state" → https://ranked.ng/state/<slug> hubs (only states with at least 25 operational listings); kind="data" → the regulator-register hubs, the operator-listed EV charging directory, their JSON feeds and the open-data index (file-backed, no database needed).

Inferred read-only
