So specifically Slack is a free API where you're not going to pay for it, and then the service is completely free.
But other APIs where there is payment, we're slowly aggregating that payment through RapidAPI to...
and do the processing.
So RapidAPI, again, as a service is completely free for free APIs.
An API that is paid.
Let me actually open it on my screen.
Okay.
Um, per month, uh, probably in between the tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands, um, area.
Yeah, and that fee is taken from the API vendor who's using the platform to distribute the API, so not from the API consumer.
No, so for any API consumer using the platform, it's completely free, and any pricing we do is completely transparent to them.
Oh, I'll be looking right now.
I mean, the most popular paid API is probably Twilio.
Yeah, so, I mean, Twilio is one of the largest APIs, period.
And they're also one of the most popular paid APIs.
Yeah, so that's how it works.
So the Rapid API is all about enabling developers to connect to APIs.
So one thing we do is add more and more APIs to the platform.
And we're actually soon going to open the possibility for developers to add APIs themselves.
as we open source more of the platform.
And then we'll just try and advocate this to developers to help people find those APIs, either through Google or through GitHub or through other systems and connect them through Rapid.
