Kudos
Kudos is a consumer credit-card rewards and smart-shopping assistant operated by Kudos Technologies, Inc., founded in 2021 by Tikue Anazodo and Ahmad Ismail. Its browser extension and iOS/Android apps sit at online checkout and recommend which of a shopper's connected cards to use to maximize points, cash back, and card benefits. Kudos Boost pays cashback at 15,000+ stores, redeemable as Amazon gift cards or PayPal cash, and the product bundles free credit-score access, a wallet and credit-management hub, a best-card cheatsheet, weekly insights scores, a Dream Wallet planner, and an Explore card-comparison and Test Drive tool. Kudos is backed by QED Investors. As of July 2026 Kudos publishes no public developer API, developer portal, OpenAPI specification, or SDKs; its only machine-readable public surface is mobile app-association metadata at app.joinkudos.com.
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.
API Evangelist profiles Kudos 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 — Kudos scores 14.9/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 4/100 (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.

How we profile Kudos
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Kudos. 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.
Security Posture 1
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.
