Koo

Koo was an Indian microblogging and social networking platform built by Bombinate Technologies, positioned as a multilingual, India-first alternative to Twitter/X with support for Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi and other regional languages. Backed by Accel and Tiger Global, it grew during the 2021 Indian social-media policy disputes before ceasing operations in 2024 after funding and acquisition talks fell through. Koo never published a public developer portal, API documentation, or client SDKs, and its domain no longer serves a site — this profile is retained as a verified-defunct historical record rather than an active API provider.

Koo is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Social, Social Networking, Microblogging, and India.

x-tier: defunct
x-tier-reason: Company ceased operations; domain is parked and no public API surface was ever published. Enrichment pipeline
  verified this on 2026-07-19 and produced no API artifacts by design.
x-status: defunct

  probed: '2026-07-19'
  findings:
  - https://www.kooapp.com/ and https://kooapp.com/ return HTTP 404 serving a Wix "ConnectYourDomain Error" placeholder —
    the domain resolves to Wix nameservers (ns2/ns3.wixdns.net) but no site is connected.
  - No developer, docs, or api subdomain resolves (developers./docs./api.kooapp.com all fail to connect), and none appears
    anywhere in the Wayback Web Archive index across ~50,000 archived kooapp.com URLs — only www.kooapp.com and the apex were
    ever captured.
  - All five probed /.well-known/ paths return 404 (see well-known/koo-well-known.yml).
  - GitHub org koo-app exists but has 0 public repositories. Parent-company org bombinatetech has 16 public repositories,
    all forks of general-purpose open source libraries (tus/tusd resumable upload, Elixir tooling, mobile UI components) —
    no Koo API, SDK, or client library.
  - No packages matching Koo on npm; no first-party SDK found on any package registry.
  - Last Wayback capture of a live Koo site is dated 2024-10-30.
  conclusion: No API, no developer portal, no SDKs, no event surface. No API artifacts were generated, as fabricating them
    would misrepresent a company that never had a public API program.
