Make Money Passively By Developing APIs — RapidAPI
As a programmer, there are lots of ways to make money actively and passively! I am going to tell you about one of the passive ways in this article.
What you need to know:
What is an API?
API stands for Application Programming Interface.
What is RapidAPI?
World’s largest API hub - RapidAPI is a platform where you can either sell or buy APIs.
APIs can be a passive way of making money. When you create an API you can put it up on RapidAPI and start making money passively!
How exactly do you make money with your API?
With Plans:
You can customize it to be Pay Per Use or Monthly.
Pay Per Use - Every time your client uses the API (makes a request) a set amount will be charged (I recommended for this option to not set the amount too high).
Monthly - Every month your client pays the amount you have set. There are also two types of limits you can select to restrict requests - soft and hard.
Soft - After a certain amount of requests a person will be charged.
Hard - A set amount that you cannot go over.
Some more info - I won’t be going into how to develop an API in this article. You receive 80% of the money and the other 20% goes to RapidAPI. You already have to have an API before you do anything in RapidAPI.
