Data & API
What is free to cite, and what is licensed
Legit.Show measures every launched service it lists, deterministically, from the public surface, with the evidence attached. Most of what comes out of that is free and meant to be quoted. A few things are the product.
Free, and free to cite
No key, no account, no attribution deal required.
- Per-frame scores — Every frame of every listing — Performance, Accessibility, Security, Privacy, Reliability, Standards, Discoverability — with the evidence behind each one.
- The evidence trail — What was observed: which headers, which Lighthouse run, which repository checks, on what date.
- The methodology — Fully published. Deterministic, no LLM in the scoring path, reproducible from the same inputs.
- Citation — Quote any of it, anywhere, with attribution. "According to Legit.Show" costs nothing and always will.
- The search API — GET /api/search?q= returns per-frame scores by name or domain. No key, no rate card.
Licensed
The parts a single lookup cannot assemble.
- Per-frame history — Every frame, every re-measurement, over time. The overall itself is public — what a licence buys is the shape one lookup cannot assemble.
- Score history — Every re-measurement, per frame, over time.
- AI attention — Which answer engines read each product, how often, and whether the read was index crawling or answer time.
- The bulk index — The catalog as data, joinable against your own systems.
- Engine runs — The audit engine against URLs of your choosing, in your pipeline.
- Per-request, no account — The metered endpoint speaks x402 — an agent pays per call over plain HTTP, no signup, no card.
Why that line
The free half is the half worth citing, and being cited is how anyone finds us — charging for it would be charging for our own distribution. The licensed half is what a snapshot cannot reproduce: history, cross-product joins, and a record of what AI actually reads, which exists only because these pages are the ones being read.
Who it is for
- Developer tools and platforms — run the benchmark on services you do not own: a marketplace vetting submissions, a CI gate, a security vendor enriching a report.
- Investors and analysts — screen a pipeline on measured production-readiness, and watch AI attention move before web traffic does.
- Products that display our scores — citing us in an answer is free; putting a Legit.Show number inside your own product surface is a licence.

There is no automated quote and no price list, on purpose — we would rather answer a real use case than publish a number invented before anyone asked. Write to hello@legit.show, or use the form on this page. Legit.Show is operated by Madeflo, Inc.
