Goat Group

Goat Group is the parent company behind a family of global marketplaces for sneakers, apparel, and luxury goods, operating the GOAT marketplace and app (goat.com), the Flight Club consignment stores and site, the Grailed peer-to-peer menswear and streetwear community, and the alias B2B platform. Founded in 2015 by Eddy Lu and Daishin Sugano and headquartered in Los Angeles (Culver City), California, the company began as a sneaker marketplace that pioneered ship-to-verify authentication and grew into one of the largest platforms for buying and selling new and pre-owned style. Goat Group went through Y Combinator (Winter 2015) and has raised capital from investors including D1 Capital Partners, Park West Asset Management, Foot Locker, Index Ventures, and others. The company does not currently publish a public developer API program; this profile is a network identity record.

human only

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.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Goat Group the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, 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 — Goat Group scores 11.4/100 (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.
