Forgejo

Forgejo is a self-hosted lightweight software forge and open-source Git service (a Gitea fork) managed by the non-profit Codeberg e.V. It provides a comprehensive REST API for managing repositories, users, organizations, issues, pull requests, CI/CD workflows via Actions, and package registries. Forgejo emphasizes privacy, low resource usage, and community ownership as a Free Software alternative to centralized code hosting platforms.

agent ready

Limited machine-readable signal and partial portal coverage — documentation a human can read, but little a machine or agent can consume without scraping.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Forgejo the way a machine reads it — 279 machine-readable artifacts across 10 APIs, 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 — Forgejo scores 43.3/100 (thin), with a separate agent-readiness read of 48/100 (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.

How we profile Forgejo

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Forgejo. 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 10

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.

Forgejo activitypub API

The activitypub API from Forgejo — 11 operation(s) for activitypub.

Forgejo admin API

The admin API from Forgejo — 34 operation(s) for admin.

Forgejo issue API

The issue API from Forgejo — 33 operation(s) for issue.

Forgejo miscellaneous API

The miscellaneous API from Forgejo — 14 operation(s) for miscellaneous.

Forgejo notification API

The notification API from Forgejo — 4 operation(s) for notification.

Forgejo organization API

The organization API from Forgejo — 42 operation(s) for organization.

Forgejo package API

The package API from Forgejo — 5 operation(s) for package.

Forgejo repository API

The repository API from Forgejo — 126 operation(s) for repository.

Forgejo settings API

The settings API from Forgejo — 4 operation(s) for settings.

Forgejo user API

The user API from Forgejo — 54 operation(s) for user.

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 six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.

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.

Spectral Rules 1

Governance rulesets we run against this provider's specs — the automated checks behind parts of the score. Profiling them makes the quality bar explicit and re-runnable, not a matter of opinion.

JSON Schema 246

Standalone JSON Schema definitions describe the data models behind the API. We profile them so the shapes are validatable on their own — useful long after a single request is forgotten.

Security Posture 3

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.

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
