The State of Creator Economy APIs
The market everyone describes as dependent on platforms turns out to be the one best equipped to survive them.
About this report
This report covers the supply chain around independent publishing — newsletter platforms, social scheduling and management, affiliate and referral networks, video and audio infrastructure, analytics, monetisation, and the ad platforms everything settles against.
843 organisations classified, 191 in the upper three bands — the largest of any industry report here. Median Kin Score 52.8, Agent Readiness 43.0.
Most of these companies sit between two systems they do not own. That is usually described as a risk. It is also why they are the best-built API businesses in this research.
