What does API Evangelist actually offer?

butterfly About API Evangelist Updated August 12, 2026

Short answer

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.

Free: the blog, the guidance catalog, the standards and regulations catalogs, the vocabularies, the newsletters, and discovery across the catalog at APIs.io. Reading and checking do not cost anything.

Paid research: the papers. Standard papers at $25 distill a topic from the sixteen years of writing. Sector Reports at $500 profile one slice of the landscape — an industry, a country, a tag grouping — scored and read from the machine-readable evidence. Portfolio Reports at $750 do the same for a venture fund’s book of companies. Enterprise Insights bundles go deeper on a single account.

Paid work: profiling a provider or an estate, running the enrichment pipeline over your artifacts, scoring you against your peers, personalized remediation checklists, governance and agent-readiness engagements.

The line between them is deliberate. Anything that helps you understand the landscape or check your own work is free. Anything where I do sustained work for you — generating artifacts, auditing an estate, producing research about your sector — is paid.

This answer is distilled from the API Evangelist guidance catalog — the long-form treatment of each topic, with its own citations back into sixteen years of writing.
