Ziff Davis Enterprise
Ziff Davis (Nasdaq: ZD) is a vertically focused digital media and internet company whose portfolio includes leading brands across technology, entertainment, shopping, health, cybersecurity, and marketing technology. Its brands include PCMag, Mashable, IGN, Lifehacker, RetailMeNot, Spiceworks, Everyday Health, IPVanish, Ookla (Speedtest), FullContact, and iContact, among others. The company operates a portfolio of advertising, subscription, and performance-marketing businesses rather than a single first-party public API product. This API Evangelist profile was surfaced as an Insight Partners portfolio lead; a public web crawl of the corporate site found an active investor-relations, newsroom, brands, privacy, and terms surface but no developer portal, API reference, or published API specification at the corporate (ziffdavis.com) level. A second enrichment pass on 2026-08-13 ran full contract discovery against www.ziffdavis.com — OpenAPI, Swagger, GraphQL, MCP, llms.txt and every /.well-known/ path returned 404, and the WordPress REST root returned 401 — confirming the absence, while surfacing three real corporate programs: a Bugcrowd-hosted Responsible Vulnerability Disclosure Program, a published data-protection compliance program (Data Privacy Framework self-certification for 32 named group entities, GDPR DPAs, CCPA request metrics, EU DSA statement, NIST SP 800-88 vendor security exhibit), and five first-party PHP packages in the ziffdavis Packagist namespace — none of which is an API client library. Ziff Davis brands with their own API surfaces are profiled as separate entries.
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.
API Evangelist profiles Ziff Davis Enterprise the way a machine reads it — 4 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 — Ziff Davis Enterprise scores 16.1/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 3/100 (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.
Why this profile is thin
Ziff Davis, Inc. is the publicly traded parent of a portfolio of consumer and B2B media brands and ships no API of its own — the corporate WordPress site returns 404 for /openapi.json, /graphql, /mcp, /llms.txt and every /.well-known/ path, and its only machine surface, the WordPress REST root at /wp-json/, answers 401 to anonymous callers.
This is an honest zero, not a gap in our research. Ziff Davis Enterprise 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 Ziff Davis Enterprise
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Ziff Davis Enterprise. 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.

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.

This is an independent, third-party profile of Ziff Davis Enterprise, 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.
