👋 Hey Product Hunt community! I'm a developer turned solopreneur who built a 6-figure agency. I know the pain of integrating third-party APIs and thought, "Why not solve this for a larger audience?" 🎨 Artists have Spotify, designers have Figma, and writers have Substack. But what about us, developers? We're left with freelancing, consulting, or hackathons for one-time side income. 💰 APIs generate billions annually, yet over 90% don't make a dime. They end up as open-source projects on Github, often dying without proper backing. 🚀 That's why I created Tiny API. Think of it as Substack for developers. Write code for an API the world needs, and collect revenue. We're building for the 25M+ developers out there—88% of whom already code outside of work and more than a third are trying to earn from it. ☕️ No more stitching together loose parts and settling for 'Buy Me a Coffee'. If you have an existing API you're looking to monetise and manage better, reach out to me at shashank@tinyapi.co. Let's change the game. 🛠️

@ardalan_pouyabahar Thank you. To answer your question, Rapid API takes a 20-30% cut on API sales. We're more developer-friendly on that front. Also while it is fantastic it's not really built for the individual developer. It's become a place for larger companies to showcase their APIs. Think of us as the Substack for APIs, while Rapid API is more like Medium. We're all about empowering individual developers.

@theshajha First off, massive kudos for recognizing such a prevalent gap in the market and taking the initiative. I love the comparison to Substack; it resonates with the need for developers to have a dedicated platform. Considering the vast variety of APIs out there, do you provide any guidelines or best practices to help developers ensure their API offering has a broad appeal? Good luck with your venture, and I'm genuinely excited to see where Tiny API goes from here
