HTTP/2
HTTP/2 is the second major version of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, defined by the IETF in RFC 7540 and standardized in 2015. It optimizes use of network resources and reduces perceived latency by introducing a binary framing layer over a single TCP connection, with full request and response multiplexing across independent bidirectional streams. HTTP/2 uses HPACK header compression to eliminate redundant header data, credit-based flow control via WINDOW_UPDATE frames, stream prioritization through dependencies and weights, and server push via PUSH_PROMISE frames to proactively deliver anticipated resources. Core frame types include DATA, HEADERS, PRIORITY, RST_STREAM, SETTINGS, PUSH_PROMISE, PING, and GOAWAY, with the protocol preserving the existing HTTP semantics of methods, status codes, and headers while transforming how they are transported on the wire.
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.
HTTP/2 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 — HTTP/2 scores 8.7/100 (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.

HTTP/2 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.
