# Cardmunch

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/cardmunch/  
**APIs profiled:** 0

CardMunch was a mobile business-card scanning service that used human transcription to turn photographed business cards into contact records on iOS. Founded as a Y Combinator and 500 Global backed startup, it was acquired by LinkedIn in January 2011 for a reported sum under $3 million and operated as a free LinkedIn-branded iPhone app. LinkedIn discontinued the app on July 11, 2014, migrating its users to Evernote's business-card scanning feature. CardMunch never published a public developer program, API, or SDK, and the cardmunch.com domain was re-registered by an unrelated party in April 2016 and now hosts an affiliate content blog. This profile is retained as a historical record; there is no API surface to enrich.
