Fanhouse

Fanhouse was a creator-subscription social platform, backed by a16z, that let fans pay creators directly for exclusive posts, photos, and community access rather than through ad-driven feeds. It was surfaced as an a16z portfolio company and added to the API Evangelist network as a stub for enrichment. The original product operated at fanhouse.app, which no longer resolves to the company (it now redirects to an unrelated domain), indicating the a16z-backed platform is defunct. No public developer portal, API documentation, OpenAPI definition, or other machine-readable API surface could be located for the original Fanhouse product, so no scored API artifacts could be produced without fabrication. This profile is retained as a company/lead record.

Fanhouse is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Creator Economy, Social, Subscription, and Fan Engagement.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) 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.

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.

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/fanhouse: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
