Font Awesome
Font Awesome is the web's most popular icon library and toolkit, providing thousands of SVG, font, and CSS icons across multiple styles and families for web, desktop, and mobile projects. Beyond the icon sets and framework components (React, Vue, Angular, Ember, Svelte, React Native, WordPress), Font Awesome operates a public GraphQL API at api.fontawesome.com that lets developers programmatically query releases, search icons and their metadata, resolve family-styles and unicode values, and — with an authenticated access token — read account Kits, entitlements, and download subsets. The API uses a token-exchange endpoint that resolves an account API token into a short-lived bearer access token scoped by permission (public, kits_read, svg_icons_free, svg_icons_pro, and more). Font Awesome also ships a first-party `fa` CLI and official AI agent skills for icon discovery and setup.
Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.
API Evangelist profiles Font Awesome the way a machine reads it — 8 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 — Font Awesome scores 49.8/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 19/100 (agent aware). 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 Font Awesome
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Font Awesome. 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 1
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.
Font Awesome GraphQL API
Public GraphQL API for programmatically querying Font Awesome releases, searching icons and their metadata (family-styles, unicode, aliases, SVG path data), and — with an access...
Agent Skills 4
An agent skill packages the how-to for driving these APIs from an assistant — the prompts, the sequence, the guardrails — so the knowledge to use the API travels with it.
Packaged agent skills for driving this provider's APIs from an AI assistant.
Security Posture 2
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.
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals.
Scopes 1
OAuth scopes are the vocabulary of least-privilege access. Profiling them shows exactly what an integration — or an agent acting on a user's behalf — is allowed to do.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Font Awesome, 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.
