NoCodeAPI
Build Third Party Applications APIs without code with NoCode
👋 Hi, My name is Mohd Danish from INDIA & I started my Indiehacker journey in January 2019.
You can find me on twitter https://twitter.com/mddanishyusuf & watch me how I failed & success with my projects.
I really love to read good stories & write true stories based on true life events. So, today I’m sharing my life experience about how I made good money with my product in less than 48 hours.
I solved 10 problems I faced with MVP & launch on ProductHunt.
After all those, I build my first SAAS product that related to API called NoCodeAPI.com

Hello, IH.
I was thinking to share my products open stats but I was busy adding new features and helping the customer 1vs1.
But these 6 months were very busy for me.
So, I write my 6 months experience on twitter.
I wish this experience will help you for your product.

Thanks @fajarsiddiq for your all motivations

It looks really good and the UI is great but I don't understand why someone would use this? It looks like extra work? Sorry for the dumb question. I use a 3rd party JS API in my program but I talk directly to their API...

Thanks. Yes, I'll keep doing.

Running a SAAS business is very hard and especially for makers.
Makers can build anything so quickly but when the point comes to sell the product then no idea how to do that.
I launch NoCodeAPI on 10 Jan 2020 with a confusing pricing model. Like 5 active applications, 10 active applications, 20 active applications.
I was not getting paid customers as I was expecting. From 10'Jan to 30'Apr I got 11 customers and most of them were yearly subscriptions.
I was getting signup and now NoCodeAPI has 1400+ registered users and 7-10% of users are actively using this tool.
I was talking with users(those were using this tool) via direct email.
Then I got emails that what if I want to use one application API then how many API requests quota we will get.
Then I decide to change the pricing plan according to the number of requests like 50k API requests and unlimited applications.
After 2 months I decide to do 2nd iteration.
This took me 1 month to make the second iteration from the landing page to the dashboard(added graph, logs, etc.)
I send an email about a new pricing model to all registered users on 1st May and in 2 days I got 10 yearly paid customers.
FYI: currently there is an 80% discount on a yearly subscription.
Still, I'm experimenting according to user requirements and what they need.
Keep doing what needed.

Congrats Danish! The new pricing looks much cleaner and easier to understand!

looks great, you do have a typo on https://nocodeapi.com/pricing, "Just upgrade to higer"
-

Hey @mddanishyusuf, really impressed with your product. May I ask what is your stack for building the backend? NodeJS, MongoDB? Do you use serverless stack?
-

I'm really impressed with this. I would ditch the computer-generated voice on the video though. Maybe invest a bit in getting a voice actor to do it or record it yourself. It could just be a personal preference thing, but even if you are going to stick with the generated voice have someone go through and proof it for grammatical issues. For example, around 0:20 it says "and see how this tool work." That should be "and see how this tool works." I know that might seem pedantic, but stuff like that can really turn people off. Especially in a business setting where people need to get buy-in from other stakeholders to purchase these kinds of services.

Woohoo!
Congratulations! 🙌Great job on playing with the pricing model.

Thanks, @AnitaToth

Awesome solution, will give it a try.
But please get rid of this terrible voiceover in the demo video! Do it yourself or hire someone, but not this one!
-

Thanks. Yes, I'll make new video with my voice.

This is good.
However, Im failing to see how it differentiates to Zapier ?
-

Here is blog post for this https://nocodeapi.com/what-is-nocodeapi
-

Thanks for the origin post but it didn't help answer the question.
I guess having a table on how it differs with leading player in this space helps (Zapier in this case).
-
1
Zapier is not even a comparable service, they have completely different use cases... NoCodeAPI takes the data from the services you connect and serves that data over a JSON API... Zapier creates a connection between services for automating tasks.

Hi @mddanishyusuf great work!!!
Just one question, will you have the Instagram, Facebook and other Social Media APIs accesses so I can get Insights information and other sorts of data?-
1
Currently, Instagram - "Insights are not supported." and what kinda data you need from facebook. Let me know other applications. So, I'll love to add those.
Thanks

Congratulations. Quick question for you -> How did you get distribution? Or did it people find that you exist?

Congrats! keep changing until you see stable result. Pricing makes more sense now.

Thanks, Musharaf for share key points.

First of all, 🙏 Thank you very much to this Indie Makers Community peoples who support my work make it happen.
The launch was so good. I got lots of feedbacks
- Adding new services
- New features
- Design feedback that everyone loved the design
- Some of the users were not able to understand the IDEA due to some presentation issues.
- 90% of the users loved the IDEA.
Here are some tweet links of users.
So, the MVP launch is all about presentation. Not for sales.
Still on #1 https://www.producthunt.com/posts/nocodeapi
Thanks :)
Hello Makers,
Now, NoCodeAPI is featured on ProductHunt and it's #1.
How amazing that people are loving it.
I'm here asking about your suggestions and feedback about NoCodeAPI.
What do you like about this NoCode tool?
How this is helping to solve your problem?
Is really saving your backend time?
If you have any feedback then just let me know.
Thanks :)

I'm guessing "no-code" is just used here to ride the wave for marketing purposes - which is a pretty good idea ;) also really like the product, I'll keep it in the back of my mind next time I need to integrate some third-party APIs!
-

Awesome. yes, just give it a try. There are more third-party applications are coming soon stay tuned.

Congratulations :)
Probably I am just stupid.. I have looked at your landing page a couple of minutes but I don’t really understand what it does. What is a specific use case?
-

Thanks, Josk.
Currently, we have a couple of use-cases and you can find them here https://nocodeapi.com/use-cases
Soon new use-cases will be added.

Well done - I voted for you on PH.
A couple of suggestions - you might want to replace "wanna" with "want to" on your landing page. It just sounds a little more professional, and might click better with the audience you are aiming at that you aren't just a 'kiddie' outfit.
Also, I would try and really get your messaging clear in your landing page, as it took me a while to work out exactly what you do. I assumed that I (as a developer of a SaaS product) could use your service to create an API of my own which aggregated the APIs of different third party providers and allowed me to combine them with just one set of calls (for instance, can I use your service to combine my Stripe customers and match their emails in MailChimp and create an aggregated list of their lifetime payment values against email campaigns that they have opened, etc.).
It is still not clear to me from looking through your site whether I can do this using your service or not.
EDIT: Are you perhaps conflating the words "Build" with "Access"? "Build" implies that I can build my own API endpoints which connects to third party services. "Access" means (to me) that I can actually extract data from third party APIs without having to use CURL or Postman or other complex toolsets. Which is it that you are providing?
-

First of all, Thank you very much.
Yes, there are some issues with the content because I always believe to go market with MVP without months of testing. But Yes, I'll be more professional for sure. Yes, it's just 3 days old product and I have to grow it for sure.
Yes, you can access your stripe users and you can also access your Mailchimp users soon. I'm working on that. But you have to do aggregated with your logic on your side.
Yes, Good point. will discuss it with my friend about that. But in the future, you can also build simple dummy REST API.
Can I DM you on Twitter?
-

Absolutely - I just followed you on there so we can DM. Happy to help out.

amazing man, congrats! Would you be open to posting the stats from the PH bump?
Also I'm working on a no-code platform. It might be interesting to think about integrating together.

Thanks, Andrew.
Awesome I just see your product landing page. seems good to me. Let's connect if you have any plans to integrate NoCodeAPI with yours.
-

Congrats man! I’m curious who your target market is? Because it’s a no code tool, that creates an API. But to use an API you need to know code. I’m guessing your going after front end devs who don’t want to use a backend?
-

Thanks, Shane.
Yes, it's more for Front-end now. But Soon it will help all peoples. But NoCode developers can access data from the google sheet, Google Analytics, Airtable to analyze.

Hey, well done! Very cool tool. Curious, what triggered you to create the service? And did you find any competitors in the space?

Someone tweet on Twitter 2 months ago and just started to build. Thanks

Congratulations buddy!👍 You are killing it!!

Ah man, this is brilliant! I would suggest though to remove the music as it's quite annoying and let your product speaks for itself. I love the concept.
Other than that, brilliant.......

Wow, the video is super fast on the site ... :)
I could barely see a thing.
Consider slowing it down or have several slower, smaller videos in different sections... -
