Really cool and useful tool, I always find the APIs I need for my job. Find, subscribe, test and register to an API in the same tool directly online save me a lot of time. Every API is REST based so super easy to integrate in your app. The support is responsive and welling to help. Keep going guys !

Great offering! How do you propose to help with discovery as well as monetization with Asian developers (e.g SE Asia or E Asia based mobile companies)? Above and beyond what RapidAPI's marketplace does, in particular.

@s8mathur thanks for leaving a comment! Superb questions. Discovery: We're focused on bringing API economy to APAC where it's still early days (check out this article https://re.tc/cefmacpv). We'll be building on our Collections which will help developers find locally relevant services more easily. Imagine a Top Japan/Singapore/India API collection showing up on your discovery view. Monetisation: The platform is all about solving DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION. We want to help Asia APIs reach a broader global audience and user base that they won't normally be able to reach.

@jed_ng I finally read the article you referenced above, and love the articulation and vision for Rakuten making APIs culturally relevant: "Localization is part of the effort toward improving developer experience, framing technical services in a relatable fashion for foreign audiences."

@s8mathur Thanks for taking the time. This is a truly MASSIVE undertaking. Our small team of 6 is moving mountains for our fans. A long way to go from product, awareness, API selection perspectives but we're grinding this out.

The testing tool is my favorite feature.

Pros:

The best website for searching, testing, and consuming APIs.

Cons:

Logging into the developer dashboard.
