Gist Answers API (Prorata API Service)

REST API behind Gist Answers. Creates chats against a publisher's licensed corpus, streams the answer back over Server-Sent Events, and returns the citations and the per-source attribution credit distribution for each turn. Also covers thread management, recommended and related question generation, publisher-group lookup and URL-scoped document summarization. Auth is an API key sent as `Authorization: Bearer `, with an `X-User-ID` header naming the calling domain or organization on most operations.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Gist Answers API (Prorata API Service), 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.
