Hashnode

Hashnode is a blogging platform for developers and engineering teams, offering publications on a custom domain, a headless CMS mode, and a public GraphQL API covering posts, drafts, publications, users, tags, series, comments and documentation projects. The API is a single GraphQL endpoint with anonymous introspection; authentication is a Personal Access Token in the Authorization header, with no OAuth and no scopes. Since 13 May 2026 the API has been a paid feature - anonymous public reads still work, but every publication-scoped read and every write mutation requires the target publication to hold an active Hashnode Pro plan. Hashnode publishes no OpenAPI and no MCP server, shipping an official Agent Skill instead.

Hashnode is listed with 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Blogging, Developer Platform, GraphQL, Content Management, and Publications.

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

Hashnode’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, pricing, signup flow, and 31 more developer resources.

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/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
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)
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link
Documented Reversibility +6 pts — a reversal operation in the contract, graded up when a window is documented too
Agentic Commerce Well-Known Document +5 pts — a parsing /.well-known/ucp.json or acp.json declaring a version and at least one service, OR (0.27) a live x402 payment challenge from _data/x402-adoption.json — `self` when its endpoints are on the provider's own domain, `platform` when they are on a vendor's

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
Agent Skills (SKILL.md packages)	covered	36.4	-	1
Browser Extension Stores (company-published Firefox add-ons; Chrome Web Store unreadable)	covered	36.4	-	1
Raycast Store Extensions (first-party publishers + community-wrapped products)	covered	36.4	-	1
Discourse Plugin Ecosystem	covered	36.4	-	1

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.

Standards implemented 5

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: The Hashnode Public API is a GraphQL API that queries publication data, manages posts and drafts, and creates
    content via mutations. All requests are POSTed to a single endpoint at https://gql-beta.hashnode.com. Introspection is
    enabled and anonymous, so the SDL is the published contract - 123 types, 13 root queries and 9 root mutations. Anonymous
    public reads (post, feed, user, tag) require no token; publication-scoped reads and all mutations require a Personal Access
    Token and an active Pro plan on the target publication. The legacy endpoint gql.hashnode.com now returns HTTP 301 to a
    deprecation notice.
