Discourse Plugin Ecosystem
Platform market (plugin / theme directory). The Kin Score Market layer reads each provider in its market: who it integrates with, how deep those integrations go, and where the market publishes its own structure. Methodology.
Where this market publishes its structure
- meta.discourse.org Plugin category JSON (/c/customization/plugin/22.json?page=0..10, 330 topics) machine-readable
- meta.discourse.org Theme category JSON (/c/customization/theme/61.json?page=0..2, 62 topics) machine-readable
- meta.discourse.org topic JSON (/t/
.json, 392 of 392 200) -- plugin repo URL + official-plugin statement machine-readable - GitHub users API (api.github.com/users/
, 145 owners) -- publisher's own website (domain bridge) machine-readable
Own = declares at least one integration itself; covered = visible only because an aggregator, standards body, regulator or partner contract names it; distribution-only = listed only on cloud marketplaces it sells through, a channel reported beside, never counted as its own declared integrations; undeclared = nothing we can read, so no number; declares_compatibility = providers with a `compatible` shape vote, report only (kin, 2026-10-13): never counted as own, never in depth or position.
Taxonomy how this market maps onto apis.io
Derived 2026-10-23 from the 16 providers in this market we could resolve in the catalog. The percentage is the share of those providers carrying each one; it describes the market, not the tag or industry. Tag groups have no page of their own yet, so they are listed unlinked.

share of resolved cohort carrying it; tags >=0.20 & >=3 members (max 12, junk dropped), tag_groups >=0.20 (cooccurrence, non-cross-cutting; max 8), industries >=0.20 (max 6), areas >=0.10 (max 6; areas are keyword-matched and sparse), capabilities L1 >=0.20 (max 8); derive-market-taxonomy.py
Leaders by position (provisional)
Provisional: grouped by position, depth compared within a position only. Distribution (cloud marketplaces) and iPaaS bridges are counted beside position, never inside it. Unknown-builder listings are left out of position shares and counted here.
