Sulu

Hey Product Hunters! 👋 I am Sam, cofounder and CTO of the Sulu team. Today we are super excited to bring you the Sulu API Platform, an API repository and monetization platform that allows vendors to easily publish their API products to thousands of developers within minutes. Developers and AI agents can search for APIs, integrate them and pay for them in real time on a pay-per-use basis through our platform. Think NPM for APIs, but with payments 💸. But how does it work? API vendors can onboard their APIs to the Sulu platform using their OpenAPI specs and set a price per call per endpoint. Prices can be fixed or depend on volume consumed, similar to subscription tiers (but more flexible 😎). Sulu generates everything you need to share your API with the world: - Readme page - Interactive Documentation - Pricing Page - A wallet and dashboard to receive payments into. On the other side, any developer can sign up to Sulu with a credit card and start consuming APIs with no minimum spend. Developers get a prepaid wallet and an API key that they can use to access any API on the Sulu network. Every time a call is made, money flows from the developer wallet to the producer wallet, seamlessly and instantly. Sulu takes care of metering, billing, tax compliance, and reporting, so you can focus on building your API products. So what are you waiting for? Open an account and monetize your API with Sulu today. You will get $10 of free credits to consume any API on the Sulu network. Any and all feedback is appreciated! If you are interested in embedded customer portals and experiences outside of the Sulu platform, please reach out to the team. We are building the product for that.

This looks super cool @sam_alarco! There have been plenty of times when I had an API-based business idea, but gave it up because I didn't want to build all the billing & metering infrastructure. And I love the idea of an AI/agent-friendly interface to make it easy to chain services together. Congrats on the launch!

so glad someone's solving the problem for API products! godspeed for Sulu.

This is a game-changer for API monetization! Sulu's streamlined approach to billing, metering, and payment integration makes it incredibly easy to launch and manage API products. As a developer, the prospect of finding, integrating, and paying for APIs on a pay-per-use basis is incredibly appealing. The platform's intuitive interface and focus on developer experience makes it a must-try for anyone looking to monetize or consume APIs.

Awesome marketplace for API developers who wants to monetize there APIs.

Congrats on launching the Sulu API Platform, Sam! 🎉 The concept of “NPM for APIs, but with payments” is brilliant—making it seamless for API vendors to monetize their products and for developers to access them on a pay-per-use basis is a game-changer. Love the focus on flexibility with pricing and the hassle-free onboarding process with OpenAPI specs. The instant money flow between wallets and built-in billing, tax compliance, and reporting make it super efficient for both sides. Excited to see how Sulu streamlines API discovery and monetization for the developer community! 🚀💻

Interesting usecases. Rooting for you all
