Crowd.dev Contacts API

Security contacts for a package — includes contact PII (e.g. reporter emails). The contract gates these behind a dedicated cdp:maintainers:read scope and forbids reaching them via the packages scope; until Auth0 issues it, the implementation requires read:maintainer-roles (NOT read:packages). The response shape is still under discussion upstream (reportingMethods / reportingGuidelines / integrationHints are reserved and always null today).

Crowd.dev Contacts API is one of 16 APIs that Crowd.dev publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification.

Tagged areas include Contacts. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification.

This API exposes 2 operations across 2 paths, and defines 10 schemas. It is described by OpenAPI 3.2.0, at version 0.1.0.

Requests are made against a single base URL, https://cm.lfx.dev/api/v1.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Crowd.dev Contacts API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
