Phind
Phind was an AI answer engine and coding assistant built for developers, offering conversational, multi-step technical search on the web and through a VS Code extension. Founded in 2022 by Michael Royzen and Justin Wei (Y Combinator S22), Phind trained its own code models and briefly held the top-ranked open-source coding model on Hugging Face. The phind.com product was a consumer/subscription service and never shipped an official public or partner developer API - the only genuinely public developer artifacts were its open-weight models on Hugging Face (Phind-CodeLlama-34B v1/v2, Python-v1, and later Phind-70B). Community "Phind API" projects on GitHub and RapidAPI are unofficial reverse-engineered wrappers, not an official interface. Phind shut down on January 16, 2026; Pro subscribers received prorated refunds and could export chat history through January 30, 2026 before servers were wiped. This entry is a historical record; API surfaces are modeled, not officially documented.
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 Phind the way a machine reads it — 3 machine-readable artifacts across 2 APIs, 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 — Phind scores 14.3/100 (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.

How we profile Phind
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Phind. 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.
APIs 2
Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.
Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Pricing Plans 1
Pricing is part of the interface. Machine-readable plans tell you what a tier costs and includes before you commit — one of the six things the Kin Score reads for commercial clarity.
