ShareThis

ShareThis is a Palo Alto, California website-tools and audience-data company, founded in 2007 and now operating as a brand of Predactiv following the 2024 corporate rebrand. Its share, follow, reaction, image and video buttons are embedded across millions of publisher sites via a single sharethis.js loader, and the resulting real-time sharing behavior feeds the company's audience, analytics and targeting data products. For developers ShareThis publishes an OpenAPI 3.0.3-described Platform API for managing properties, app configurations, OAuth clients and AI summaries, an unauthenticated Social Share Count API, and a remote Model Context Protocol server at mcp.sharethis.com that exposes property and app management to AI agents over OAuth.

agent ready

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 ShareThis the way a machine reads it — 14 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, 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 — ShareThis scores 43.4/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 42/100 (agent ready). 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.

How we profile ShareThis

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for ShareThis. 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 8

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.

ShareThis Social Share Count API

Public, unauthenticated GET endpoint returning aggregate social sharing metrics for any URL — clicks and shares broken out per network (facebook, twitter, linkedin, pinterest, w...

First-party remote Model Context Protocol server letting AI assistants create and manage ShareThis properties, validate domain ownership, configure apps and inspect live app out...

ShareThis AI Summary API

Generates the "Key Observations" summary for the Sharing Intelligence Overview page from a compact, pre-aggregated metrics payload. The OpenAI key stays server-side.

ShareThis Apps API

ShareThis apps attached to a property

ShareThis Audience API

Audience analytics for the Sharing Intelligence page.

ShareThis Authentication API

Managing user authentication

ShareThis OAuth Clients API

Manage machine-to-machine (client_credentials) OAuth credentials for the authenticated account. Create a client to receive a client_id and a client_secret (shown once), then exc...

ShareThis Properties API

Managing properties. A Property represents a single website or domain and is used to configure and manage multiple apps under that domain.

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.

Model Context Protocol servers that expose these APIs to AI agents.

ShareThis MCP

First-party remote Model Context Protocol server that exposes ShareThis property and app management to AI assistants. Documented on ShareThis's own site at https://sharethis.com...

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 2

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.

Scopes 1

OAuth scopes are the vocabulary of least-privilege access. Profiling them shows exactly what an integration — or an agent acting on a user's behalf — is allowed to do.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of ShareThis, 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.
