Seed Health

Seed Health is a microbiome science company founded in 2017 by Ara Katz and Raja Dhir, headquartered in Los Angeles County, California. It develops and sells clinically studied probiotic, prebiotic and synbiotic consumer products — most notably the DS-01 Daily Synbiotic, the PDS-08 Pediatric Daily Synbiotic and the VS-01 Vaginal Synbiotic — direct to consumers via a subscription commerce site at seed.com, alongside SeedLabs, its environmental and applied-microbiology research arm. Seed publishes a substantial public science, editorial (Cultured) and help-center surface, and maintains a small public GitHub organization, but it operates no public developer program: there is no developer portal, no published API reference, no OpenAPI, GraphQL, AsyncAPI or MCP contract, and its internal storefront API paths are explicitly disallowed in robots.txt. Its practitioner program is fulfilled through Fullscript and email rather than through any integration surface.

human only

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.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Seed Health the way a machine reads it — 3 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 — Seed Health scores 13.7/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 5/100 (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.

No API surface

Why this profile is thin

Seed Health is a direct-to-consumer microbiome supplements brand that ships software only as its own storefront: there is no developer.seed.com (DNS does not resolve), no API reference anywhere on seed.com or help.seed.com, and its one first-party API host, api.seed.com, is the storefront backend that seed.com/robots.txt explicitly closes to crawlers with "Disallow: /api/*"; its only public npm package is a Figma design-token library, and its Practitioner Program integrates through Fullscript and email rather than any programmatic surface.

This is an honest zero, not a gap in our research. Seed Health does not appear to expose an API, so there is nothing here for us to index and nothing for them to fix.

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.

How we profile Seed Health

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Seed Health. 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.

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 things the Kin Score reads for access clarity — renamed from commercial clarity in rubric 0.12, because a free statutory interface has access terms and no commercial ones.

Published pricing tiers and plan structures.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

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.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Seed Health, 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.
