It offers a Management API for running your account and an Account API for reading what applies to the signed-in user. Endpoints cover roles, feature flags, entitlement checks and usage metering, such as 'POST /api/v1/billing/meter_usage' for recording metered usage. APIs.io catalogs 9 workflows for Kinde, including provisioning a user into an organization with a role in one pass. Kinde has a free tier with self-serve signup and also offers MCP servers so AI assistants can call its API directly. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How do I check what features a customer's billing plan entitles them to with Kinde? Call 'GET /account_api/v1/entitlements' to list everything the signed-in user's plan includes, or 'GET /account_api/v1/entitlement' to check one specific feature by its key. For a billing customer rather than a signed-in user, use 'GET /api/v1/billing/entitlements'. This connects billing plans directly to product access checks at the moment of use. _Developers wiring plan-based access checks can track API patterns like this one on daily.dev._ ### How do I record metered usage for billing in Kinde? Send a 'POST /api/v1/billing/meter_usage' request, which records usage against a customer's metered feature. This is what you need when billing per seat, per report or per message instead of charging a flat fee, letting your billing system reflect actual consumption rather than estimates. _Those building usage-based pricing can follow metering API patterns like this on daily.dev._ ### What is the difference between Kinde's Management API and Account API? The Management API runs your account, letting you create and manage roles, feature flags, and webhooks across your whole business, for example 'POST /api/v1/roles'. The Account API lets your app read what applies to the currently signed-in person, for example 'GET /account_api/v1/roles' or 'GET /account_api/v1/feature_flags'. _Developers evaluating identity platforms can compare API designs like this one on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Enterprise identity and usage metrics](https://daily.dev/posts/enterprise-identity-and-usage-metrics-6lfqmyz7f) · Kiro · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [kedge](https://daily.dev/posts/kedge-oyvgbzjph) · Hacker News · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Build a Feature Flag System in 50 Lines with Rails.app.creds](https://daily.dev/posts/build-a-feature-flag-system-in-50-lines-with-rails-app-creds-rbpxor0ec) · RUBYLAND · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Feature Flag Orchestration with AWS DevOps Agent and LaunchDarkly](https://daily.dev/posts/feature-flag-orchestration-with-aws-devops-agent-and-launchdarkly-noyegmfha) · AWS · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Embedded Login advancements: Put your apps in control of identity](https://daily.dev/posts/embedded-login-advancements-put-your-apps-in-control-of-identity-v97itzpxn) · Auth0 · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#authentication](https://daily.dev/tags/authentication), [#iam](https://daily.dev/tags/iam) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/manage-user-logins-roles-and-feature-flags-for-your-app-with-kinde-grxnz4ack) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Manage User Logins, Roles And Feature Flags For Your App With Kinde","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/manage-user-logins-roles-and-feature-flags-for-your-app-with-kinde-grxnz4ack","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/manage-user-logins-roles-and-feature-flags-for-your-app-with-kinde-grxnz4ack"},"datePublished":"2026-10-30T16:13:39.804Z","dateModified":"2026-10-30T16:14:54.497Z","description":"Kinde is an authentication and customer identity platform that bundles login, roles, feature flags, billing entitlements and usage metering into one API-driven...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/ed75ed815467ea5916bba6dd703835c1?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/ed75ed815467ea5916bba6dd703835c1?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"API Evangelist","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"API Evangelist","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/a36244ae67bc4f41a605f780267ecb5f","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/apievangelist"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/manage-user-logins-roles-and-feature-flags-for-your-app-with-kinde-grxnz4ack","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"authentication,iam","timeRequired":"PT5M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"API Evangelist","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/apievangelist"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Manage User Logins, Roles And Feature Flags For Your App With Kinde"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/manage-user-logins-roles-and-feature-flags-for-your-app-with-kinde-grxnz4ack#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How do I check what features a customer's billing plan entitles them to with Kinde?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Call 'GET /account_api/v1/entitlements' to list everything the signed-in user's plan includes, or 'GET /account_api/v1/entitlement' to check one specific feature by its key.
