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.
