DEI too cancelled my subscription right… I too cancelled my subscription right away and lost access, what company does that? Shameful behavior. Plus the API stopped working the very same day.

GBI both write APIs and use APIs on here I both write APIs and use APIs on here, though I more so manage the APIs I've written. Writing APIs: They provide an excellent UI for testing and providing information about your API as well as solid analytics. The analytic views are buggy and the payment method set up is only allowing paypal which means not only does rapidapi take a cut, but paypal takes a cut as well. The payments come out super late. There is almost no protection from fraudulent users, I have one using free accounts (40 different ones) who has gone way over and will be charged at the end of the month, but there is nothing I can do to limit his ability to do this except outright block him or cancel his card (and thus never get paid). Overall, it is way worth setting up with their platform instead of building your own infrastructure. As a user: I have not had any issues with incorrect api call counts. I've also had good experience with seeing what data i sent to their API.

GB$5000 in overage charges, cant investigate, cant limit risk. I subscribe to a $35 service. Logged in to find $5000+ spend in overage charges, I asked for IP addresses querying and limits, their reply (should have been internal): We do not disclose the IP address of the request as it's not part of the information we typically share with consumers. Additionally, we do not provide more detailed logs beyond the last 200 on the Public Hub. Regarding protection, it's the responsibility of the consumer to implement mechanisms to block a certain number of calls on their server side; it is not our responsibility. --- This company does NOT understand security and it will put you at risk.

AUIt says you have reached you usage limit even if you haven't used 1% of what you purchased Stopped working for no reason. I used a small fraction of the allowed monthly quota of API calls, less than 1%, but I was prevented from using it further on the grounds that I had reached my monthly quota. Customer support don't reply, no matter how many times you create support tickets. All you get is the automated auto-respond email. Very poor customer service. Very poorly designed APIs.

GBRapidAPI stopped working without warning My students were using RapidAPI in their mobile app to get hotel information - worked really well until the day of the competition, when it didn't work at all - like they had turned it off. They don't offer any feedback or help. Very disappointed. Very terrible - be very careful using these.
