Blackbird Labs
Blackbird Labs is a New York-based hospitality technology company building a payments and loyalty platform for restaurants and their guests. Its flagship product, Blackbird Pay, is a blockchain-powered payment network that charges restaurants roughly 2% per transaction and settles automatically at the table, while diners earn $FLY loyalty rewards by checking in and can redeem points across participating restaurants. Payments run over Flynet, a layer-three transaction protocol built on Coinbase's Base, and membership is represented by an NFC-tapped NFT. Founded by Resy and Eater co-founder Ben Leventhal, Blackbird is backed by Union Square Ventures, Spark Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Coinbase Ventures, and Amex Ventures. Blackbird operates as a consumer mobile app and a merchant platform and does not currently publish a public developer API.
More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.
API Evangelist profiles Blackbird Labs the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, 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 — Blackbird Labs scores 16.8/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (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 Blackbird Labs
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Blackbird Labs. 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.
Security Posture 1
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.
