SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
EP 628: RapidAPI w/ 19 YO Founder Raises $3.5M, Helping You Connect to API's Faster with CEO Iddo Gino

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.

EP 628: RapidAPI w/ 19 YO Founder Raises $3.5M, Helping You Connect to API's Faster with CEO Iddo Gino

Okay.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
EP 628: RapidAPI w/ 19 YO Founder Raises $3.5M, Helping You Connect to API's Faster with CEO Iddo Gino

Um, per month, uh, probably in between the tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands, um, area.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
EP 628: RapidAPI w/ 19 YO Founder Raises $3.5M, Helping You Connect to API's Faster with CEO Iddo Gino

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.

EP 628: RapidAPI w/ 19 YO Founder Raises $3.5M, Helping You Connect to API's Faster with CEO Iddo Gino

No, so for any API consumer using the platform, it's completely free, and any pricing we do is completely transparent to them.

EP 628: RapidAPI w/ 19 YO Founder Raises $3.5M, Helping You Connect to API's Faster with CEO Iddo Gino

Oh, I'll be looking right now.

EP 628: RapidAPI w/ 19 YO Founder Raises $3.5M, Helping You Connect to API's Faster with CEO Iddo Gino

I mean, the most popular paid API is probably Twilio.

EP 628: RapidAPI w/ 19 YO Founder Raises $3.5M, Helping You Connect to API's Faster with CEO Iddo Gino

Yeah, so, I mean, Twilio is one of the largest APIs, period.

EP 628: RapidAPI w/ 19 YO Founder Raises $3.5M, Helping You Connect to API's Faster with CEO Iddo Gino

And they're also one of the most popular paid APIs.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
EP 628: RapidAPI w/ 19 YO Founder Raises $3.5M, Helping You Connect to API's Faster with CEO Iddo Gino

Yeah, so that's how it works.

EP 628: RapidAPI w/ 19 YO Founder Raises $3.5M, Helping You Connect to API's Faster with CEO Iddo Gino

So the Rapid API is all about enabling developers to connect to APIs.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
EP 628: RapidAPI w/ 19 YO Founder Raises $3.5M, Helping You Connect to API's Faster with CEO Iddo Gino

So one thing we do is add more and more APIs to the platform.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
EP 628: RapidAPI w/ 19 YO Founder Raises $3.5M, Helping You Connect to API's Faster with CEO Iddo Gino

And we're actually soon going to open the possibility for developers to add APIs themselves.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
EP 628: RapidAPI w/ 19 YO Founder Raises $3.5M, Helping You Connect to API's Faster with CEO Iddo Gino

as we open source more of the platform.

EP 628: RapidAPI w/ 19 YO Founder Raises $3.5M, Helping You Connect to API's Faster with CEO Iddo Gino

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.
