Case Study: Klout scales to 450M API calls/month and builds a thriving developer ecosystem with TIBCO Mashery (TIBCO Software)

Klout Scores Social Influence Success with Mashery

Klout, the social analytics company behind the Klout Score used by more than 400 million people and 200,000+ businesses, faced rapid, exponential API growth that outpaced its original Twitter-focused infrastructure. The company needed a management solution for scaling, key provisioning, developer onboarding, caching, and security—capabilities outside its core competencies.

Klout chose TIBCO Mashery for cloud caching, global deployment, OAuth 2.0 support and easy developer onboarding, letting the team focus on product and partnerships instead of operations. The integration now handles about 450 million API calls per month, supports 1,100+ production API keys and 300+ new apps monthly, and helped launch secure partner programs like Klout Perks, driving thousands of strategic partnerships and continued growth.
