Sendbird
Sendbird provides APIs and SDKs for in-app chat, voice, video, AI chatbots, and omnichannel business messaging. Used by over 4,000 companies to build real-time communication experiences for customer support, communities, and marketplace platforms.
Reference-quality API operations across every facet — a rich contract, published governance, transparent operations, and machine-readable commercial terms.
API Evangelist profiles Sendbird the way a machine reads it — 43 machine-readable artifacts across 7 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 — Sendbird scores 70.2/100 (exemplar), with a separate agent-readiness read of 77/100 (agent native). 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 Sendbird
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Sendbird. 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 7
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.

Postman Collections 1
A runnable collection turns the contract into something a developer can execute in seconds. We profile them because the fastest way to trust an API is to make a real call against it.
Ready-to-run Postman collections for exercising this provider's APIs.
Sendbird Platform API
POSTMANOpen Collections 1
Open, tool-agnostic collections carry the same runnable value as Postman without locking you to one client — the portable, forkable form of the same exercise.
Open, tool-agnostic API collections (OpenAPI-derived and Bruno).

OPEN COLLECTIONArazzo Workflows 15
Real integrations are rarely a single call. Arazzo describes the multi-step sequences — auth, then create, then confirm — so both a human and an agent can follow the choreography, not just the endpoints.
Multi-step API workflows described with the Arazzo specification.
Sendbird Add Members to an Existing Channel
Confirm a channel, recreate it as distinct with an expanded member set, and notify.
ARAZZOSendbird Archive and Delete a Channel
Read a channel's recent messages for archival, then delete the channel.
ARAZZOSendbird Audit a Channel and Its Recent Activity
List channels for a member, then read details and recent messages for one.
ARAZZOSendbird Ban a User from a Channel
Confirm a user and channel exist, then ban the user from the channel.
ARAZZOSendbird Create a Channel and Broadcast a Message
Create a group channel with a member set and immediately broadcast a message.
ARAZZOSendbird Deactivate and Clean Up a User
Confirm a user exists, then delete the user account from the application.
ARAZZOSendbird Open a Direct Message Between Two Users
Create a distinct 1:1 channel for two users and send the first message.
ARAZZOSendbird Find or Create a User
Look up a user by ID and create them only if they do not already exist.
ARAZZOSendbird Issue an Access Token and Greet the User
Create a user with an issued access token and send them a private channel greeting.
ARAZZOSendbird Moderate the Author of the Latest Channel Message
Read a channel's latest message, identify its author, and mute that user.
ARAZZOSendbird Mute a User and Post a Moderation Notice
Mute a user in a channel and post an admin notice explaining the action.
ARAZZOSendbird Onboard a User and Start a Group Channel
Create a user, open a group channel for them, and post a welcome message.
ARAZZOSendbird Rename a User and Notify a Channel
Update a user's nickname and announce the change in a channel.
ARAZZOSendbird Reply to the Latest Message in a Channel
Read the most recent messages in a channel and post a reply.
ARAZZOSendbird Update User Metadata
Fetch a user, then merge nickname, profile, and metadata updates onto them.

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.

MCP SERVERGraphQL 1
Where a provider ships GraphQL, the schema is the contract. We profile it alongside the REST surface so the whole interface is legible in one place.
GraphQL schemas published by this provider.
Sendbird GraphQL Schema
This document describes a conceptual GraphQL schema for the Sendbird in-app messaging and chat platform. The schema is derived from the [Sendbird Platform API](https://sendbird....
GRAPHQLPricing 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.
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.
Sendbird Rate Limits
RATE LIMITSFinOps 1
Cost, billing, and metering signals let a buyer model the financial operations of an API before it's live. We profile them for the same reason we profile pricing: the money is part of the contract.
Cost, billing, and metering signals for API financial operations.
Sendbird Finops
FINOPSSemantic Vocabularies 1
JSON-LD contexts give the data shared meaning across APIs. We profile them because semantics are what let a machine reconcile 'customer' here with 'customer' somewhere else.
JSON-LD contexts and semantic vocabularies used across these APIs.

JSON-LDSpectral Rules 2
Governance rulesets we run against this provider's specs — the automated checks behind parts of the score. Profiling them makes the quality bar explicit and re-runnable, not a matter of opinion.

SPECTRALJSON Schema 3
Standalone JSON Schema definitions describe the data models behind the API. We profile them so the shapes are validatable on their own — useful long after a single request is forgotten.
Standalone JSON Schema definitions for this provider's data models.
JSON Structure 1
JSON Structure captures the data shapes in a form built for tooling — a complement to JSON Schema that keeps the model machine-legible.

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.
Example request and response payloads for these APIs.

EXAMPLESecurity Posture 4
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.
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals.
Agentic Access 1
An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
Recommended x-agentic-access execution contracts for AI agents.
