The Cru (now branded "The Cru Empowered by Luminary") is a membership community founded by Tiffany Dufu that matches women and allies into small peer-coaching accountability circles ("Crus") of 6-8 members who meet in monthly 90-minute gatherings to advance their personal and professional goals. It was acquired by Luminary, a New York City based professional community and coworking organization, and the thecru.com site now redirects to weareluminary.com/luminary-crus. This is a consumer community and coaching business, not a technical platform - it publishes no public API, developer portal, or SDK surface.
The Cru is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Community, Women in Leadership, Professional Development, and Coaching.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
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/the-cru: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
