Seltz

Seltz is a San Francisco-based AI infrastructure company building the web retrieval and knowledge layer for the agentic internet. Its Web Knowledge API gives LLMs, RAG pipelines, and autonomous agents real-time, context-engineered web data through a single call: POST /v1/search returns ranked, cleaned source documents, POST /v1/answer returns a direct RAG answer with citations, and an OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions endpoint serves web-grounded chat. Rather than returning raw snippets like a traditional search API, Seltz shapes web content to maximize usefulness for machine reasoning. Founded in 2025 by Antonio Mallia (Amazon, Pinecone) and backed by Speedinvest and B Capital, Seltz ships official Python and TypeScript SDKs, a hosted MCP server, and integrations for OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, LlamaIndex, Agno, Langroid, Dify, n8n, and Zapier.

agent aware

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Seltz the way a machine reads it — 6 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 — Seltz scores 51.1/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 38/100 (agent aware). 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 Seltz

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

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

Security Posture 3

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.
