description: >-
  Melty is a French digital media brand for youth culture — news and entertainment coverage of
  series, cinema, television, celebrity, gaming and lifestyle aimed at a 15-34 audience. Founded in
  2008 in Paris and operated by EEPLE SAS, Melty was a Serena Capital portfolio company before
  Reworld Media acquired 100% of the business in a distressed M&A process completed in 2021-2022;
  melty.fr is now published by EEPLE within Groupe Reworld Media and monetised through advertising
  and native content rather than software licensing. Melty publishes no developer program, no public
  API product and no machine-readable API contract. Its only public developer surface is the
  meltygroup GitHub organisation, which carries the identity servers Kisee and Pasee — MIT-licensed,
  self-hosted Python HTTP API servers written in-house and released to PyPI, last published in 2021.

  name: Kisee — Identity Provider Server
  description: >-
    Kisee is an open-source HTTP API server published by Melty Group that exchanges valid
    username/password pairs for JSON Web Tokens, and nothing else. It is self-hosted software, not a
    Melty-operated public API: you install it from PyPI and run it yourself against your own identity
    backend (LDAP, PostgreSQL, a flat file, or any backend you implement as a Python class). Responses
    are CoreJSON hypermedia documents. Last released to PyPI as 21.9.0 in September 2021. No OpenAPI,
    AsyncAPI or GraphQL SDL is published for it.

  name: Pasee — Identity Management Server
  description: >-
    Pasee is an open-source HTTP API server published by Melty Group that layers group and user
    management over one or more identity providers — one or many Kisee instances plus external
    providers such as Twitter or GitHub. It serves a JSON-Home document at its root describing its
    users, groups and tokens resources, and issues ES256-signed JWTs. Self-hosted software rather
    than a Melty-operated public API; last released to PyPI as 21.4.1 in April 2021. No OpenAPI,
    AsyncAPI or GraphQL SDL is published for it.

    melty.fr is a WordPress consumer media site with no developer portal at all, and the only two
    documented HTTP APIs the company ever published — the self-hosted Kisee and Pasee identity
    servers on readthedocs — ship no OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, GraphQL SDL, Postman collection or JSON
    Schema in any of the 7 meltygroup GitHub repositories.
