The Hog
The Hog is a real-time web intelligence API for AI agents and go-to-market teams, founded in 2025 (Y Combinator F25) by Hudson Liao and Paulo Nascimento in San Francisco. One credit-based REST API unifies company and people search, contact enrichment, LLM-powered deep research, multi-platform web and social scraping (LinkedIn, X, Reddit, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook), SEO intelligence, and recurring signal monitors. Fast calls return synchronously; long-running jobs run asynchronously with polling, organization-scoped idempotency keys, cursor pagination, request-id tracing, and a consistent JSON error envelope. A hosted OAuth MCP server and a local stdio MCP package expose the same capabilities to agents.
The Hog publishes 8 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Company Search API, Deep Research API, Enrichments API, and 5 more. Tagged areas include Company, GTM Intelligence, Sales Intelligence, Data Enrichment, and Web Scraping.
The The Hog catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
The Hog’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, authentication, and 28 more developer resources.

Kin Score
Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
| Market | Position | Depth | Registered MCP server | Declares compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AI Agents (A2A agent cards) | undeclared | - | - | 3 |
| Agent Skills (SKILL.md packages) | undeclared | - | - | 3 |
| Accelerator Portfolios (Y Combinator, 500 Global, Antler participation) | undeclared | - | - | 3 |
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
