9GAG

9GAG is a Hong Kong-based global entertainment platform founded in 2008 with the mission to "make the world happier." It is one of the largest meme and user-generated humor communities on the internet, distributing funny images, GIFs, and videos across its website and iOS/Android apps to an audience of 150-200 million people and billions of monthly video views. 9GAG operates consumer-facing products (the 9GAG feed, 9GAG Pro subscription, and related community features) rather than a public developer API program; it was surfaced in the API Evangelist network as a venture-backed company (500 Global, Y Combinator, Freestyle Capital, True Ventures, First Round Capital, Greycroft) and has been enriched with its real public web, policy, and security surfaces. No official public API or developer portal is published as of this enrichment; the community libraries that exist are unofficial and reverse-engineered.

9GAG is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Entertainment, Social-Media, Memes, and Content.

9GAG’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, and 8 more developer resources.
