API Evangelist Sponsorship

info

Since 2010, API Evangelist has been sustained through partnerships with companies, organizations, institutions, and government agencies. With the latest iteration of API Evangelist, we remain open to partnerships while exploring innovative ways to support our platform financially. Our goal is to balance sustainability with being a trusted and valuable resource for the API community. The API Evangelist brand holds significant meaning for us and for the audience who engages with our content, and we are committed to upholding its value and impact.

We offer monthly sponsorship opportunities for API Evangelist, enabling API service and tooling providers—or any other entities—to support the platform while gaining valuable exposure. Our sponsorship packages are thoughtfully designed to showcase your products, tools, or services, ensuring your brand captures the attention of our engaged audience.

• Ticker Rotation - You can feature up to five call-to-action messages that rotate prominently in the website’s top ticker.
• Service Rotation - You can showcase up to five services that rotate on the left-hand banner of detail pages.
• Newsletter - One of your call-to-action messages and one of your services will be highlighted in the weekly newsletter.
• Social - Each month of your sponsorship, we will also amplify your blog posts and social media content where it aligns with our platform.

Additional sponsorship opportunities may arise from time to time, and we’ll be experimenting with dynamically integrating call-to-action messages and services in other areas of the site. However, these four areas represent our core monthly sponsorship offerings as of January 2025. If you’re unfamiliar with the API Evangelist brand, a partnership may not seem like the right fit. However, if you recognize the presence and reach we’ve built, a collaboration could be a perfect opportunity.

We are open to exploring other ways of collaborating; however, in 2025, our primary focus is on expanding our knowledge base to support enterprise customers in governing their API operations and profiling leading APIs to power APIs.io and enhance our API governance efforts. As a result, we are being selective about new partnerships and projects, ensuring they align closely with our ongoing initiatives to strengthen API Evangelist and APIs.io.
