Plugin

An index and topic collection covering plugin, extension, and add-on architectures with public APIs and marketplaces. This collection spans editor and IDE plugin ecosystems (VS Code Marketplace, JetBrains Marketplace, Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons), SaaS platform extension marketplaces (Atlassian Marketplace and Forge, Salesforce AppExchange, Shopify App Store, WordPress Plugins, Slack Apps, Discord Apps, Microsoft AppSource, Google Workspace Marketplace, Notion, Postman, Figma, Sketch, Webflow Apps, HubSpot Marketplace, Zapier App Directory), API gateway plugin frameworks (Kong Plugin Hub, Tyk Plugins, Gravitee Plugins), identity extensibility (Auth0 Actions and Extensions), and AI plugin and tool ecosystems (Open WebUI Functions, ChatGPT Plugins and GPTs, Claude Code plugins, OpenAI tools). It tracks the manifests, listing schemas, install and entitlement flows, extension points, and review and distribution APIs that power modern plugin and extension marketplaces.

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 Plugin the way a machine reads it — 35 machine-readable artifacts, 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 — Plugin scores 9.5/100 (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. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

Plugin Kin Score — API readiness rating by API Evangelist

Put this on your own site. The badge is drawn live from Plugin's current Kin Score — paste it once and it updates itself every time the score is recomputed. It follows your visitor's light or dark setting, and it links back here so anyone who sees it can read the full breakdown.

Real request and response payloads are what turn a spec from abstract into obvious — and they're one of the twelve things an agent needs to call an API correctly on the first try.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Plugin, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
