Keen

Verified Jul 2026

Keen (formerly Keen IO) is an event-streaming and real-time analytics platform: send events over a REST or Kafka-compatible ingestion API, then query, visualize, or replicate them via the Data API, Compute API, and embeddable dashboards. Chargify acquired Keen in March 2020 and folded it into an events-based-billing product line; the service is now sold as a sales-led SaaS plan starting at $149/month with no self-serve free tier, only a "Request a Demo" flow. Live-checked in July 2026: keen.io and its api.keen.io endpoints (PROJECT_ID plus read/write key auth) are active, with CORS enabled on API responses.

Auth quickstart

  2. Send it on every request as a headerAuthorization: <key>
  3. The exact header isn't documented — Authorization is a common default; confirm in the provider's docs.
Stored keyNo key stored

Your key is stored only in this browser (localStorage) and sent directly to the API — never to greatapis.
