Group Nine Media
Group Nine Media was a New York-based digital-media holding company formed in 2016 through the merger of Discovery Digital with the original Group Nine, uniting the news brand NowThis, the animal brand The Dodo, the lifestyle brand Thrillist, and the science brand Seeker under one roof (it later added PopSugar). Backed by Discovery Inc. and venture investor IVP, it built large social-video and branded-content audiences before it was acquired by Vox Media in February 2022 and folded into that portfolio. Group Nine operated as a consumer media publisher, not an API provider: it did not publish a public developer portal, API documentation, SDKs, or any machine-readable API surface, and its groupnine.com domain now resolves to a third-party domain-sale landing page. This profile is retained as a VC-portfolio identity record with no scorable API artifacts.
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.
Group Nine Media 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 — Group Nine Media 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.

Group Nine Media 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.
