# Wattpad

> Wattpad is a Toronto-based social storytelling platform where a global community of writers and readers share serialized original fiction. Acquired by Naver (WEBTOON) in 2021. Wattpad does not currently offer a public developer API — its former developer program (developer.wattpad.com) was discontinued around April 2018 and the API is now internal-only.

This profile is maintained by the API Evangelist network (api-evangelist/wattpad).
