Fanbridge

FanBridge was an email and SMS marketing platform for musicians, artists, bands, and creators, letting them grow and message their fan mailing lists, run newsletters, and capture subscribers from shows and social channels. It was surfaced as a portfolio company of 500 Global and added to the API Evangelist network as a stub. Enrichment (2026-07-19) confirmed FanBridge is defunct - it was acquired by Kit (formerly ConvertKit) and ceased operations on April 11, 2022, with active accounts migrated to the Kit platform. The domain fanbridge.com now 302-redirects to kit.com/fanbridge. There is no standalone FanBridge developer API, documentation, SDK, or event surface; the developer docs linked from the destination site belong to Kit, not FanBridge.

Fanbridge is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Email Marketing, SMS Marketing, Music, and Musicians.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
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/fanbridge: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
