Abstract provides powerful APIs to automate common dev tasks. We make it easy to validate emails, geolocate IPs, calculate VAT, compress images and more. We focus on an awesome dev experience with top documentation and support, and provide free and paid plans.
I can't even upgrade my account. Their customer service is horrendous and our entire platform depends on their APIs. We are hitting our limits and have no way to upgrade due to a bug in THEIR OWN CODE. Incredibly frustrating.
The unsung hero of clean data. Phone validation, email verification, IP lookup, all the little checks that make a product feel polished and trustworthy. Quietly essential to how Locus Founder operates under the hood.
Not really understanding these gender APIs. Aren't folks worried about misgendering someone and how that may make that person feel? Why not just use inclusive language or let the person tell you their pronouns?
@domhnall_o_hanlon Thanks!
We are indeed working on several more APIs :). Paid plans will give access to all of them, even the ones without free plans. So yes :).
This is nice. Well executed. I was fiddling with the idea for a long. Have signed up. Sharing one Lookup API idea which I had made. Pricing in the visitor's currency. Just to give a quick idea. here is an example link. https://apiclerk.com/localrate/v...
This will convert USD 24 into the visitor's currency. (little buggy at times)
All the best. Looking forward to more lookup APIs. 👍
Very excited to hunt Abstract. We've been using Abstract at our company for a few months now and have gotten to know Emma. I'm super impressed with the product, documentation, support, and especially their responsiveness to our questions and feedback. We almost try to find more reasons to use Abstract in our code because we love the company so much :)
Thanks for trusting us from day one @matttbrown. So much of the current product comes from our users feedback. We couldn't exist without you!

Fantastic work by Emma and Eric.
Juggling millions of APIs and subscriptions is always a pain. Finally a simple product that bundles all this together with an extensive free plan for personal projects.
Can't wait to see it expanding!
@redongjika Thanks! We're trying to empower as many developers as possible with a reliable, simple and affordable API suite that they can use across all their projects. Glad you noticed ;)

Switched to Abstract 3 months ago and already serving 100k visits a day without any issue. Congrats to the team! Excited to see more coming!
@raph_jbol Thank you Jbol de riz. Looking forward to scaling Abstract with you <3

Interesting but the current pricing model is off-putting for startups.
I checked two APIs of yours: no commercial use allowed on the free plan + an individual pricing for each.
Ignore my comment if you’re not targeting startups...
It would be much more appealing with a credits system coupled with on-demand usage (eg. One API may have 100 calls for 1 credit while another one could be 200 calls for 1 credit).
Allowing commercial use in free plans would also be nice to convince a non-profitable startup.
@romainbarissat Thank you for your honest feedback Romain. Our pricing is always evolving and we're constantly trying to find a good balance between letting as many people as possible use our API and building a business.
We tried to be affordable for this launch by having prices that are below what other APIs can offer.
That being said, we also have a program for startups: https://www.abstractapi.com/abst...
