Atari

Atari is one of the founding brands of the interactive entertainment industry, originally established in 1972, and today operates as a global video game and consumer-hardware company. It publishes classic and modern titles, manufactures the Atari VCS console and retro hardware (Atari 2600+, Atari 400 Mini), licenses its catalog and brand, and sells games, collectibles, and merchandise through its official online store at atari.com. Atari does not publish a general-purpose public REST API; its developer surface is limited to Atari VCS content-submission guidance (developers email vcs@atari.com and use the VCS submission portal) and legacy HTML5 Atari Arcade SDK libraries on GitHub. This profile was surfaced as a Mayfield portfolio company — a nod to Mayfield's foundational 1970s venture investment in Atari — and added to the API Evangelist network for enrichment.

Atari is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Video Games, Gaming, Consumer Hardware, and Entertainment.

Atari’s developer surface includes documentation, support, engineering blog, and 6 more developer resources.
