Kit

Kit (formerly ConvertKit) is a creator email marketing platform whose REST API v4 covers subscribers, tags, custom fields, forms and landing pages, sequences, broadcasts, snippets, posts, purchases, segments and webhooks across 72 operations on https://api.kit.com/v4. It authenticates with an X-Kit-Api-Key header for personal automation or OAuth 2.0 (PKCE, dynamic client registration, rotating single-use refresh tokens) for apps published to the Kit App Store, and uses cursor-based pagination, an OAuth-only bulk namespace with async callbacks, and eventually-consistent list reads. Kit also runs two remote MCP servers - an OAuth-gated one that acts on a creator's account and an anonymous read-only documentation server - publishes an A2A agent card and an Agent Skill from its developer docs host, and ships llms.txt. Its only first-party API client is a PHP SDK.

agent ready

Reference-quality API operations across every facet — a rich contract, published governance, transparent operations, and machine-readable commercial terms.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Kit the way a machine reads it — 217 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 — Kit scores 82.8/100 (exemplar), with a separate agent-readiness read of 55/100 (agent ready). 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. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

How we profile Kit

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Kit. 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 16

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.

Kit Accounts API

The Accounts API from Kit — 5 operation(s) for accounts.

Kit Broadcasts API

The Broadcasts API from Kit — 5 operation(s) for broadcasts.

Kit Custom Fields API

The Custom Fields API from Kit — 4 operation(s) for custom fields.

Kit Email Templates API

The Email Templates API from Kit — 1 operation(s) for email templates.

Kit Forms API

The Forms API from Kit — 4 operation(s) for forms.

Kit Posts API

The Posts API from Kit — 2 operation(s) for posts.

Kit Purchases API

The Purchases API from Kit — 2 operation(s) for purchases.

Kit Segments API

The Segments API from Kit — 1 operation(s) for segments.

Kit Sequence Emails API

The Sequence Emails API from Kit — 2 operation(s) for sequence emails.

Kit Sequences API

The Sequences API from Kit — 4 operation(s) for sequences.

Kit Snippets API

The Snippets API from Kit — 2 operation(s) for snippets.

Kit Subscribers API

The Subscribers API from Kit — 7 operation(s) for subscribers.

Kit Tags API

The Tags API from Kit — 6 operation(s) for tags.

Kit Webhooks API

The Webhooks API from Kit — 2 operation(s) for webhooks.

Kit API V3 (Deprecated)

The legacy ConvertKit V3 API is deprecated and slated for discontinuation; new integrations should target V4.

Kit Account API

Open Collections 15

Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

GraphQL 1

Where a provider ships GraphQL, the schema is the contract. We profile it alongside the REST surface so the whole interface is legible in one place.

Pricing Plans 1

Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the things the Kin Score reads for access clarity — renamed from commercial clarity in rubric 0.12, because a free statutory interface has access terms and no commercial ones.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

FinOps 1

Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.

Cost, billing, and metering signals for API financial operations.

Event Specifications 2

Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Kit, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
