Herb

Herb (herb.co) is a leading digital media and e-commerce platform dedicated to cannabis culture, education, and lifestyle. It publishes cannabis news, strain databases, product reviews, dispensary and brand guides, deals, recipes, and city-level legalization guides, and operates the "Herb Agency" offering branding and marketing services to cannabis companies. The consumer site is built on Gatsby (React) with a GraphQL data layer, Algolia search, and a Firebase/serverless backend hosted on Netlify. Herb is backed by Bullpen Capital and was added to the API Evangelist network from that portfolio; the company exposes no public developer API program at this time, so this profile captures its published web, content, and discovery surface (llms.txt, domain security posture, and identity/link properties) rather than API artifacts.

Herb is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Cannabis, Media, Content, and E-Commerce.

Herb’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, and 6 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Education & Research 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.

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/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/herb: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
