I really appreciate this review, with it's critical and constructive feedback. The issue of reaching viable consumers, and also "health-checking" the API's that are listed appears to be missing. I will try this out at any rate w. a simple-feature API, then see if my findings are similar to yours. Thank you so much!
Thank you for the review! We API devs really need a service like RapidAPI to succeed. RapidAPI is a good idea, too bad the execution is not there. Hopefully it improves. I'm about to use them as a consumer, so hopefully it works out.
This makes sense to me. Unsure whether I missed it or it went unstated - are there alternatives in the " API marketplace " category that you have some experience with, or might recommend instead ? It's an attractive idea for someone wanting to focus on API development.
I have also tried API Layer; The experience is very different, but in the end also not good and I can't recommend it. If you find a marketplace that really works for you, I'd love to hear about it.
I don't see any reason to share 20 % of profit with service, that even not able to properly rank or organize existing APIs. I also tried to research for "popular" API profitability, but for some reason no information is publicly available. It is hard to plan some business model with such a black box, and it sounds more reasonable to get your own service which will issue keys, handle payments and billing, cache queries and troubleshoot issues.
calling RapidAPI "marketplace for API" is a calling VisualStudio Code "marketplace for plugins". I dont think Sir you understand what RapidAPI is at all. It used to be called PAW and is a Postman of sorts

Thanks for the review. I was going to use this for a tutorial but doesn't look like their quality is up to par. Thank you for saving me time!

So strange, they developed the whole complexe product and forgot to automate quality checks. Isn't API quality the easiest thing to do.
Great review. How would you compare Rapid API (that I didn't know before) compared to Apify ?
Really interesting video

Thank you for the content. Really helpful!
My pleasure!
Thank you. This was very helpful!
any suggestion for better api marketplace?
I'm not aware of any that I can recommend. I suggest to build libraries/packages for the most relevant platforms and market via those.
So what do you recommend ?
Great video! I am looking for Price Comparison API for my project and recommendations?
What did you mean by that ?
Great content
Thanks
Great thanks!
You're welcome!
Excellent video. Exactly what I was looking for. Fully agree with the criticism. The price cut would be OK if the quality of the service was OK.
!00% agree with you on the wrong KPIs that they're tracking
The only public one that I found, my API is sadly drowned amoung crap APIs.

You're very welcome!
Are you icelander?
rapidapi is ok for api users, but just ok not good, really bad for providers
its worst for developers. My payout is pending from last November
Sorry to hear that!
