Melty

aid: melty
name: Melty
description: Melty is a French digital media brand for youth culture — news and entertainment coverage of series, cinema,
  television, celebrity, gaming and lifestyle aimed at a 15-34 audience. Founded in 2008 in Paris and operated by EEPLE SAS,
  Melty was a Serena Capital portfolio company before Reworld Media acquired 100% of the business in a distressed M&A process
  completed in 2021-2022; melty.fr is now published by EEPLE within Groupe Reworld Media and monetised through advertising
  and native content rather than software licensing. Melty publishes no developer program, no public API product and no machine-readable
  API contract. Its only public developer surface is the meltygroup GitHub organisation, which carries the identity servers
  Kisee and Pasee — MIT-licensed, self-hosted Python HTTP API servers written in-house and released to PyPI, last published
  in 2021.

  name: Kisee — Identity Provider Server
  description: 'Kisee is an open-source HTTP API server published by Melty Group that exchanges valid username/password pairs
    for JSON Web Tokens, and nothing else. It is self-hosted software, not a Melty-operated public API: you install it from
    PyPI and run it yourself against your own identity backend (LDAP, PostgreSQL, a flat file, or any backend you implement
    as a Python class). Responses are CoreJSON hypermedia documents. Last released to PyPI as 21.9.0 in September 2021. No
    OpenAPI, AsyncAPI or GraphQL SDL is published for it.'

  name: Pasee — Identity Management Server
  description: Pasee is an open-source HTTP API server published by Melty Group that layers group and user management over
    one or more identity providers — one or many Kisee instances plus external providers such as Twitter or GitHub. It serves
    a JSON-Home document at its root describing its users, groups and tokens resources, and issues ES256-signed JWTs. Self-hosted
    software rather than a Melty-operated public API; last released to PyPI as 21.4.1 in April 2021. No OpenAPI, AsyncAPI
    or GraphQL SDL is published for it.

  detail: melty.fr is a WordPress consumer media site with no developer portal at all, and the only two documented HTTP APIs

    GraphQL SDL, Postman collection or JSON Schema in any of the 7 meltygroup GitHub repositories.
