Community

Community is a conversational messaging platform that lets brands, creators, artists, sports teams, media companies, and political organizations reach their audiences directly over SMS, MMS, WhatsApp, Apple Messages for Business, and RCS. Founded in 2019 and remote-first, Community pairs a campaign-and-flows product with a developer surface: an Async REST API to send Direct Messages, create and update members, set custom member data, manage subcommunities (tags), and opt members out; a Data Export API for member, campaign, and link analytics snapshots; and outbound webhooks for inbound/outbound messages and member lifecycle events. API access is provisioned per account by the Community team rather than self-serve.

Community publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: member-data API, messaging API, and tags API. Tagged areas include Messaging, SMS, Communications, Conversational, and Marketing.

The Community catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Community’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, authentication, engineering blog, support, pricing, and 25 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Telecommunications regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/community: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
