Gnip
Gnip was a social media data aggregation company founded in 2008 in Boulder, Colorado by Eric Marcoullier and Jud Valeski. It became the first authorized reseller of the Twitter "firehose" and delivered enterprise-grade access to real-time and historical social data from Twitter, Tumblr, WordPress, Disqus, StockTwits and many other sources through products such as PowerTrack, Historical PowerTrack, the Search API, the Audience API and the Engagement API. Twitter acquired Gnip in April 2014 and folded its technology into Twitter's enterprise data platform; the Gnip brand and standalone APIs were retired and gnip.com now 301-redirects to the Twitter/X enterprise developer documentation. This profile is preserved for historical/network completeness — Gnip is no longer an independent provider.
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.
Gnip 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 — Gnip 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.

The organization behind the API
Gnip 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.
