Hey Indie Hackers π
After going through a failed startup and losing quite a bit of money, I decided to shift gears and focus on building small, useful APIs people can plug into their projects β and hopefully earn something sustainable.
Today, I launched my first public API on RapidAPI:
π Visa-Free Travel & Entry Rules API
It returns structured data on:
Visa-free access
eVisa and Visa-on-arrival countries
Total count of visa-free destinations
Works for any passport country code (like IN, US, etc.)
Use Cases:
Travel apps showing where a user can travel
Expat dashboards
Visa assistance platforms
Digital nomad planning tools
β
Fully deployed
β
Live and searchable on RapidAPI
β
Free tier for devs to try out
β
Hosted on MongoDB Atlas + Node.js
π¬ Iβd love feedback on:
My RapidAPI listing β does it explain the value well?
Pricing β is $5 for 2000 requests/month reasonable for small apps?
Any features you think would make this API more useful?
Hereβs the API listing (would be thrilled if you tried it!):

Thanks IH β never thought Iβd be back here after failing hard, but Iβve learned that building in the open (and asking for help) is the best way forward.
Nice job on launching this! The use cases are great and pricing looks good. If you ever find yourself building out a full platform, or need custom integrations, eGrove Systems specializes in scalable API and eCommerce solutions, which might be handy when you're ready for bigger things: egrovesys
