Sketchfab

Sketchfab is the largest dedicated platform for publishing, sharing, discovering, buying, and embedding interactive 3D content on the web. Founded in Paris in 2012 by Cedric Pinson and Alban Denoyel and acquired by Epic Games on July 21, 2021, Sketchfab hosts millions of 3D models from artists, museums, scanning rigs, and studios — much of it Creative Commons licensed. The platform exposes a public REST Data API for programmatic upload and content management, a JavaScript Viewer API for controlling the embedded WebGL/WebXR viewer, a Download API delivering glTF/GLB/USDZ, an oEmbed endpoint, and OAuth 2.0 authentication, alongside native exporters for every major 3D / DCC tool. Following the Fab.com launch in 2024 the Sketchfab Store has been retired into Epic's unified content marketplace while the publishing, viewing, and developer APIs remain on sketchfab.com.

Sketchfab publishes 14 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Download API, Bookmarks API, Categories API, and 11 more. Tagged areas include 3D, Models, Marketplace, Viewer, and WebGL.

The Sketchfab catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Sketchfab’s developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, documentation, getting-started guide, signup flow, pricing, engineering blog, and 50 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 applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% 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/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/sketchfab: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

description: Sketchfab is the largest dedicated platform for publishing, sharing, discovering, buying, and embedding interactive
  3D content on the web. Founded in Paris in 2012 by Cedric Pinson and Alban Denoyel and acquired by Epic Games on July 21,
  2021, Sketchfab hosts millions of 3D models from artists, museums, scanning rigs, and studios — much of it Creative Commons
  licensed. The platform exposes a public REST Data API for programmatic upload and content management, a JavaScript Viewer
  API for controlling the embedded WebGL/WebXR viewer, a Download API delivering glTF/GLB/USDZ, an oEmbed endpoint, and OAuth
  2.0 authentication, alongside native exporters for every major 3D / DCC tool. Following the Fab.com launch in 2024 the Sketchfab
  Store has been retired into Epic's unified content marketplace while the publishing, viewing, and developer APIs remain
  on sketchfab.com.
