Can you earn by Selling APIs?

Hi,

Selling APIs is a good business actually, all you need to do is be good at backend and creating APIs.

Most of the internet traffic is actually APIs.

I am looking for people interested in creating an API business with me. If interested then comment on this post with ideas you have.

I already have a Parsing API with active users that makes around $1600/- MRR.

    Have you considered an API marketplace?

    1. 1

      Not really, we instead create a managed API store like Shopify.

      I don't think we want to get into API marketplaces.

        Update:
        Never say never! We pivoted to api.market :-p
