Glio

Glio is a unified API for AI media generation that provides a single interface to 90+ models across video, image, audio, and text from providers such as Kling, ByteDance Seedance, Google Veo and Imagen, OpenAI GPT Image, Suno, ElevenLabs, Runway, and Anthropic Claude. Developers create work via an asynchronous job-based workflow (create job, poll, get result), and also call OpenAI-compatible chat-completions and embeddings endpoints synchronously. Billing is pay-per-use in GL tokens (1 GL = $0.01 USD) with no subscriptions or minimums. Surfaced as an a16z portfolio company and enriched from Glio's public developer surface at glio.io / api.glio.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 Glio

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Glio. 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 2

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.

Arazzo Workflows 2

Real integrations are rarely a single call. Arazzo describes the multi-step sequences — auth, then create, then confirm — so both a human and an agent can follow the choreography, not just the endpoints.

Multi-step API workflows described with the Arazzo specification.

ARAZZO

Glio - generate media and retrieve result

Create an AI media-generation job on Glio and poll until it completes, then read the result. Uses Glio's asynchronous job workflow.

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.

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.

Agentic Access 1

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.
