Glif is a creative AI platform from Spellcasters, Inc. — originally launched in 2023 as a no-code visual workflow builder for chaining text, image, audio, and video models into shareable "glifs", and re-launched in March 2026 as Glif 2.0, a single chat-based AI agent with access to 100+ native tools (Claude Sonnet 4.5, Claude Opus 4.1, GPT-4o, Nano Banana Pro, Flux 2 Turbo, Seedream V4, Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro, VEO 3.1, Hailuo 2.3, ElevenLabs, MiniMax v2, FFmpeg, web search and more). Glif raised a $17.5M seed round led by a16z and USV in April 2026. The platform is used by creators, e-commerce sellers, performance marketers, and agencies to produce short-form video, product shoots, ad campaigns, character/comic art, memes, logos, and SVG vector graphics. Glif's public REST and Simple APIs were deprecated on 2026-05-20 in favor of the chat agent surface; the open Glif MCP server, ComfyUI custom nodes, Chrome extension, and Python client remain the canonical programmatic entry points to the platform. Profiled in the API Evangelist network as a reference case for the "no-code AI workflow builder → AI agent" platform pivot, alongside peers such as Anthropic, OpenAI, and other foundation-model orchestration providers.
Glif is listed with 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Artificial Intelligence, No-Code, Workflows, Creative AI, and Generative AI.
Glif’s developer surface includes developer portal, documentation, changelog, pricing, support, GitHub presence, YouTube channel, and 25 more developer resources.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
AI & Biometrics 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/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
Idempotency+9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented) Ask about this →
Stable Error Semantics+8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes Ask about this →
Rate-Limit Signaling+7 pts — OpenAPI responses document X-RateLimit-* / RateLimit headers (verified), else a rate_limits artifact or RateLimits link (documented) Ask about this →
11 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.
Kin Score — facets with the most composite points still available (weight × headroom):
Each check links to what satisfies it. Publish the artifact, or tell us where it already lives, and the score moves on the next scoring run.

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.

description: HTTP endpoint for invoking a single published glif (AI workflow) by ID and passing a list of named or positional
string inputs. POST a JSON body with `id` and `inputs` to https://simple-api.glif.app using a Bearer token; the response
includes the run's final `output` (often an image URL or text) plus an `outputFull` block describing the output type.
Legacy responses always return HTTP 200 even on error, with the error surfaced in an `error` field. Per Glif's FAQ the
API was deprecated on 2026-05-20 as part of the Glif 2.0 chat-agent rebuild; the documentation repository remains public
for reference and existing integrations.

by `id`, `username`, `userId`, `glifId`, `featured`, pagination with `page` and `limit` (default 20, max 100), and inclusion
of full glif-graph JSON via `?includes=spells.data`. A private POST `/glifs` endpoint creates draft glifs by supplying
a graph of node blocks (TextInputBlock, GPTBlock, ComfyUI blocks, etc.). Deprecated 2026-05-20 alongside the Simple API
as Glif retired the workflow-builder surface in favor of the chat-based agent.
