About

This is the developer portal for the API Evangelist network — the family of sites maintained by Kin Lane covering the technology, business, politics, and people of APIs.

What this portal provides

API Evangelist has long published its research across a set of focused sites, each one dedicated to one dimension of API operations: APIs themselves, plus companies, policies, rules, properties, schema, standards, strategies, guidance, conversations, experiences, partners, utilities, videos, and vocabularies. Every site renders an HTML browse view, and every site emits a static JSON feed of the same data.

This portal documents three ways to consume all of that:

The Network API — https://api.apievangelist.com/v1, one REST API over the whole network with unified search, topic areas, and every collection as a resource. Keyless free tier; see Authentication.
The MCP server — https://mcp.apievangelist.com/mcp, the same research exposed as Model Context Protocol tools for AI agents, including the get_overview and guide_topic concierge tools.
The static feeds — each collection's JSON file, documented as if it were an API, because for the purposes of integration that's exactly what it is. Pick a feed, fetch the JSON, parse it, integrate it. No API key, no rate limit, no signup.

Discovery

The portal publishes an RFC 9727 API catalog at /.well-known/api-catalog, cataloging the API, the MCP server, and every static feed as a machine-readable linkset. The feeds themselves follow the APIs.json specification — the discovery format Kin Lane has been championing for over a decade.

Open source

The portal is open source at github.com/api-evangelist/developer. Each underlying collection lives in its own repo under the api-evangelist GitHub organization, and the API + MCP server live in apievangelist-aws.

Contact

Questions, issues, or pull requests: github.com/api-evangelist/developer/issues or [email protected] — the same address to use when requesting higher API limits.
