Dasient
Dasient was a web anti-malware company founded in 2008 in Sunnyvale, California by ex-Google engineers Neil Daswani and Shariq Rizvi with McKinsey consultant Ameet Ranadive. It sold cloud-based protection against web-based malware and malvertising, scanning customer websites and ad networks with its Malware Analysis Platform. It shipped a JSON-RPC over HTTP "Web Protection API" that let customers schedule and run on-demand malware scans of individual domains and URLs, with tiered pricing by scans per day. Twitter acquired Dasient in January 2012 for a reported $19.1 million; the product was retired, dasient.com went dark in late 2012, and the domain is now a parked defensive registration held by Twitter. This company is DEFUNCT and has no live API surface to enrich.
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.
Dasient 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 — Dasient 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.

Dasient 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.
