Backstage Events System
The Backstage Events system provides a publish-subscribe mechanism for broadcasting and consuming events within a Backstage instance. It enables plugins to emit events when significant actions occur (such as catalog entity changes, scaffolder task completions, or permission policy updates) and allows other plugins or external systems to subscribe to those events via HTTP webhooks or the internal event bus.
Backstage Events System is one of 13 APIs that Backstage publishes on the APIs.io network, described by an AsyncAPI event-driven specification.
Tagged areas include Developer Portal, Event, and Webhook. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and an AsyncAPI specification.
This event API exposes 0 operations across 4 channels, and defines 5 schemas. It is described by AsyncAPI 3.0.0, at version 1.0.0.

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.
