Bitstrips
Bitstrips was a Toronto-based consumer software company, founded in 2007 by Jacob "Ba" Blackstock, that created the personalized comic platform Bitstrips and the personal-avatar app Bitmoji. Snap Inc. acquired Bitstrips in March 2016, retired the original Bitstrips comic product, and now operates the technology as Bitmoji. The public developer surface today is the Bitmoji Direct API (Bitmoji for Developers): an OAuth2 authorization-code-with-PKCE flow via www.bitmoji.com/connect that grants third-party apps access to a user's avatar ID, sticker packs, and sticker search, served from bitmoji.api.snapchat.com/direct. Note that Snap has deprecated the "Bitmoji For Identity" product; the standalone stickers and search integrations remain documented. This profile was surfaced as a Kleiner Perkins portfolio company and enriched from the public Bitmoji developer documentation.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles Bitstrips the way a machine reads it — 3 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Bitstrips scores 13.9/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 14/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Bitstrips
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Bitstrips. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
APIs 1
Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.
Bitmoji Direct API
OAuth2 (authorization code + PKCE) API for Bitmoji for Developers, providing access to a connected user's avatar ID, sticker packs, and sticker search. Served from bitmoji.api.s...
Security Posture 2
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
