Soldsie
Soldsie was a social-commerce platform founded in 2012 in San Francisco by Chris Bennett and Arrel Gray that let retailers sell directly through social media: customers bought products by commenting "Sold" on a merchant's Facebook or Instagram post, while a backend dashboard handled invoicing, customer tracking, and waitlists. Backed by 500 Startups (now 500 Global) and e.ventures, it raised roughly $1M in seed funding and a $4M Series A (2014), and had processed over $25M in transactions across more than 1,000 merchants. The product is now defunct: the soldsie.com apex no longer resolves and www.soldsie.com returns a broken redirect, so there is no live developer portal, API, or documentation surface to enrich.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles Soldsie 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 — Soldsie scores 6.8/100 (minimal), 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 Soldsie
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Soldsie. 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.
