Happs

Happs was a live-streaming platform for creators and citizen journalists that let broadcasters produce real-time news and multicast a single live stream simultaneously to Facebook, YouTube, Twitter/X, Twitch and other destinations, with built-in studio tools and viewer monetization through tips and monthly sponsorships. Originally launched as a home for independent journalists, it expanded into a general creator social network and ran its live video on Amazon Interactive Video Service (Amazon IVS). The company raised roughly $4.7M in a post-seed round led by Bullpen Capital and Crosslink Capital, and wound down operations around 2022. This profile is retained in the API Evangelist network as a portfolio-lead record; no public developer program, API, or live web surface remains.

Happs is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Live Streaming, Video, News, and Journalism.

Happs’ developer surface includes engineering blog and 3 more developer resources.
