Anyone making APIs and selling requests? Any advice?

[nycdude]

Hello guys,

I was wondering if anyone had any experience selling their API requests on any of the API marketplaces out there.

Any of these; RapidAPI, Rakuten, Prompt API or Saasify?

Any others?

I've made a Natural Language Processing API that does a bunch of preprocessing and categorizes text etc, I'd like to sell it and not sure where to begin.

Thanks for any input.

Man, I was about to post the same question.
I have seen several video on YT and was wondering if there was
any real money in it.

I'm friends with a guy who runs a lot of the tiktok, Instagram, twitter etc.. API's on rapid and he's bringing in a few grand per day easily. Also the opportunity they unlock with people constantly messaging him about buying his code, hiring him for other projects, getting custom api's etc.. is also printing like crazy.

Do you use Watson or something else?

For my API? I use Python, NLTK and spaCy.

That was my initial idea but had to abandon it in favour of something else? What categorisation standard do you use? IAB?

Have you sold it somewhere and for what price? I'm thinking to do the same with my API.

I haven't sold it, no. I've gotten so wrapped up in other projects I sort of left it. I pretty much make my apis for my own projects, was wondering about selling requests too. Categorization standard? Using spaCy's large vectored pretrained model I just do word similarity scoring against a lot of topics. The words from text data I do the scoring with are usually all the nouns, bigrams, rake keywords etc. Works pretty good.

May I give you advise to implement IAB categories? This will help you with better ad targeting according to text provided to NLU. Of course if you are using this in IM.
