What API Evangelist is, how the Kin Score works, what apis.io does, and what you can buy or hire.
Yes — submit it through the add-API form on APIs.io, or open a request. The listing gets built from what your public surface actually returns, so publishing your artifacts first gets you a better profile.
Ask, and it happens. The default outcome keeps a name, a description and a link to your own site, with no rating and no artifacts — and there is a permanent registry that stops you being re-added.
From what you publish publicly. You improve it by publishing the things you are missing — a real OpenAPI, schema, plans, limits, security, a change log — and you can see exactly which checks you are failing.
Independent. There is no vendor sponsorship of the research, the rubric is public and versioned, and API Evangelist's own properties get scored under the same rules as everyone else.
Get in touch with the specific URLs. Every claim gets checked against a live fetch, and where the evidence supports a correction it gets made and the provider gets rescored.
Research reports built from the catalog's machine-readable evidence. $25 topic papers, $500 Sector and Standard Reports, $750 Portfolio Reports, and deeper enterprise bundles.
Free reading and checking — the blog, guidance, catalogs, and APIs.io discovery. Paid research reports, and paid work: profiling, scoring, governance and agent-readiness engagements.
The research, writing, and catalog work I have been doing since 2010 — a blog, a network of catalogs and specifications, a rating system, a search engine at APIs.io, and a set of paid research reports.
The search engine over the API Evangelist catalog — thousands of providers and their APIs, with their artifacts, ratings, and machine-readable properties, searchable by humans and by agents.
A public, versioned 0–100 rating of how ready an API is to be discovered, understood, adopted and operated — computed only from public, machine-checkable signals a provider chose to publish or chose to leave out.
