Blinkist is a Berlin-founded subscription learning app that condenses the key ideas of thousands of nonfiction books and podcasts into roughly 15-minute text and audio summaries called "Blinks." Launched in 2012, it is used by millions of readers to learn on the go across categories such as productivity, business, psychology, personal growth, and science, and it also offers Blinkist for Business for teams and organizations. The consumer product is delivered through the web and iOS/Android apps backed by a private mobile backend at api.blinkist.com; Blinkist does not publish a public developer API, SDKs, or a developer portal. Blinkist was added to the API Evangelist network as a portfolio-company lead (backed by Insight Partners) and enriched with the provider signals that could be verified from its public surface.
