About this repository

This is not our API. This repository is an independent, third-party profile of a company's publicly available API surface, maintained by API Evangelist. API Evangelist does not operate, host, resell, or support this company's APIs, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated on the profile.

Where the information came from. Everything here is assembled from material a member of the public can reach with a browser and no credentials — the company's own website, developer portal and documentation, the specifications it publishes for public use (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, JSON Schema, apis.json, llms.txt and similar), its public repositories, and its public status, pricing and changelog pages. Nothing here is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials of any kind.

The rating is an independent assessment. The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated scores of a company's public API artifacts, produced by API Evangelist against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits, and they score published artifacts — not the quality, safety, or security of the software.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free. No partnership, contract, or purchase is required, and you do not need to justify the request.

  • Something wrong? Open an issue on this repository, or email info@apievangelist.com.
  • Published something new? Ask for a re-score and we will re-run the rating.
  • Want the listing taken down? Say so and we will honor it. The profile is reduced to your company name, a factual description, and a link to your own site, and the company is recorded as unrated — never scored zero for having asked.

Response times. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal or restriction within two business days; corrections and re-scores within five business days.

On a security or compliance team? Email info@apievangelist.com with security in the subject line and you will get a person, not a form. We will tell you exactly which public URLs this profile was built from so your team can see the same surface we did, and we will take the listing down on request while you work through it.

Full detail: Where this data comes from

Stream (GetStream.io) provides scalable, API-first infrastructure for in-app chat messaging, activity feeds, audio/video calling and livestreaming, and AI moderation. The server-side platform is a documented REST API (base https://chat.stream-io-api.com for Chat) authenticated with a JWT in the Authorization header plus a Stream-Auth-Type: jwt header and the application api_key query parameter. Client SDKs additionally open a persistent WebSocket connection (wss://chat.stream-io-api.com/connect) to receive real-time events - message.new, typing.start, reaction.new, user.presence.changed, notification.* - and periodic health.check heartbeats. Chat and Feeds are metered on Monthly Active Users (MAU); Video is metered on participant minutes.

APIs

Stream Chat Channels API

Query, get-or-create, update, truncate, and delete chat channels, and mark them read. Channels are the containers that hold messages, members, reads, and reactions, addressed by a channel type and id (e.g. messaging:general).

Properties

Stream Chat Messages API

Send, get, update, and delete messages within a channel, fetch thread replies and message history, and run message search across an application's channels.

Stream Chat Members API

Query channel members with filtering and sorting, and partially update a member's channel-scoped attributes such as role, notifications, and pinned or archived state.

Stream Chat Reactions API

Add, list, and remove emoji reactions on messages. Reactions carry a type (like, love, haha) and optional score, and emit reaction.new and reaction.deleted real-time events.

Stream Chat Threads API

Query threads a user participates in, retrieve a single thread by its parent message id, and partially update thread metadata. Threads group replies under a parent message.

Stream Chat Users API

Upsert, query, and partially update users, and deactivate or reactivate them. Users carry custom data and roles and are the identities that connect over the WebSocket and appear as channel members.

Stream Chat Devices and Push API

Register, list, and remove a user's push devices (APNs, Firebase) so Stream can deliver offline push notifications, and manage push providers for the application.

Stream Chat Moderation API

Ban and unban users, flag messages and users for review, and mute or unmute users and channels. Backs Stream's AI-powered trust and safety and content moderation workflows.

Stream Chat Permissions and Roles API

List permissions, create and delete custom roles, and inspect the role-based access control that governs what users and channel members are allowed to do across the application.

Stream Chat Campaigns API

Create, update, and delete bulk messaging campaigns and start or stop their delivery to user segments. Used to send templated messages to targeted audiences at scale.

Stream Activity Feeds API

Build scalable activity feeds and timelines - add activities to feeds, follow and unfollow feeds, aggregate and rank activities, and fan out to followers. Powers social timelines, notification feeds, and news feeds.

Stream Video and Audio API

Create and manage audio/video calls and livestreams - get-or-create calls, manage call members and permissions, start and stop recording, transcription, and broadcasting. Metered on participant minutes.

Real-Time WebSocket

Stream Chat clients open a WebSocket to wss://chat.stream-io-api.com/connect (via client.connectUser()) to receive real-time events. The connection is modeled in asyncapi/getstream-asyncapi.yml. Stream limits open connections to 50 per user in production (3 in development).
