I 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.

Disappointing Support Experience with RapidAPI We tried multiple channels to contact RapidAPI's support, including emails and online forms, but we didn't receive any updates for two weeks. They keep repeating that their engineering team will review our case and nothing happens after that. Very bad experience with RapidAPI.

Don't reinvent the API wheel but leverage Rapid API instead! This is a great service for leveraging prebuilt api's for your applications. There is no need to reinvent the wheel. Through Rapid API, you can take advantage of a market place of API's that connect to a breath of platforms. The billing and usage calculation is very easy to understand and use. There is no need to worry about being throttled by certain platforms when trying to access their data when using Rapid API since they have a great infrastructure to prevent that from happening. There customer service is also very responsive. We have had a great experience with Rapid API so far and look forward to using them for more API's in the future.

I just stopped working on macOS I just stopped working on macOS. The app starts but the app window can't be found. Creating a new file does not work. The only solution is reinstallation. Stay away from this product if you need it for anything work-related.

Lost access to the API after 15 minutes I subscribed to an API for one month to test it out. I always cancel these subscriptions so that I don’t forget unsubscribing later on. With this service, you lose your access to the API as soon as you unsubscribe, not at the end of the month that you paid for. So I paid a whole month, and then lost access to the API after 15 minutes. After contacting the support, they just confirmed that this is how their platform worked, but offered no other assistance.
