Scribd
Scribd Inc. is an American digital-content media company founded in 2007 by Trip Adler, Jared Friedman and Tikhon Bernstam and headquartered in San Francisco, California. It operates four consumer platforms: Scribd (a document-sharing library), Everand (a subscription service for ebooks, audiobooks, magazines, podcasts and sheet music, formerly the flagship Scribd subscription), SlideShare (presentation hosting) and Fable (a social reading app). Scribd was an early Y Combinator company. Its historical public "Platform" API for uploading, converting and displaying documents is now legacy — the official Ruby client (scribd/rscribd) was archived in 2019, Scribd no longer accepts new API accounts, and the SlideShare developer portal has been retired — so this profile documents the company's identity and the remaining first-party developer artifacts rather than a live API surface.
More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.
API Evangelist profiles Scribd 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 — Scribd scores 22.5/100 (emerging), 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 Scribd
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Scribd. 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.
