Danger
Danger, Inc. was a Palo Alto, California mobile computing company founded on December 9, 1999 by Andy Rubin, Joe Britt, and Matt Hershenson, all former Apple, WebTV, and Philips engineers. Danger built the Danger Hiptop, sold in the United States as the T-Mobile Sidekick, an early client-server ("cloud") smartphone whose downloadable application catalog prefigured the app stores later shipped by Android and iOS. Andy Rubin left Danger in 2003 to found Android. Microsoft acquired Danger on February 11, 2008 for a price reported at roughly $500 million and folded the team into "Project Pink," which shipped as the short-lived Microsoft Kin. Most former Danger staff had left Microsoft by October 2009 and the company was wound down by approximately 2011. Danger was surfaced in the API Evangelist network as a historic Redpoint Ventures portfolio holding. It is defunct: the danger.com domain no longer resolves and there is no developer portal, documentation, or API surface to catalog.
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.
Danger is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
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 — Danger scores 6.8/100 (minimal), 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.

Danger is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
