Catch&Release
Catch&Release is a UGC creator platform and content-licensing marketplace that helps brands and agencies discover, license, and clear rights for "found content" — real videos, photos, and footage created by everyday people and creators — for use in advertising and marketing campaigns. Its workspace lets marketing teams search and curate licensable moments, send content calls to its creator community, negotiate offers, and handle the legal clearance and rights packages, while creators earn passive income by licensing clips from their camera rolls. The platform pairs a brand/agency workspace (collections, storyboards, teams) with a creator community, using an access-first, pay-for-what-you-use model. Added to the API Evangelist network from an Accel portfolio lead.
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 Catch&Release 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 — Catch&Release scores 17.0/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 4/100 (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 Catch&Release
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Catch&Release. 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.
