Are you an API provider? Are you interested in being able to monetize the API? Well, we know how, or rather, this platform knows how to do it. It is an API marketplace that will help you with this task in a satisfactory way. How? Find out in this post!
API is the acronym for Application Programming Interfaces. The APIs work as a bridge between one application and another, but these are not visible to the end users of an application, but to the developers of the same; APIs are essential in the world of web development since they simplify the life of the consumer user, since they allow him to see the information without having to go directly to its source. An example of this is when you log in to a site with your Google or Twitter account. You do not need to open your Google account to be able to register for this service, since this task would take more time, it is much easier to do it through an API.
These interfaces are not visible to the public because they are part of the code of an application or a website, they usually use JSON language. For this reason, they are present in most of the applications that we use in our day-to-day, such as Uber, weather applications, delivery applications, and the like. One way to exemplify what an API is would be with an electrical outlet (socket). The reason for this example is very easy because an outlet allows the user to have access to the electrical system and can connect their appliances through plugs and use them.
In summary, it is a very useful tool for the user. However, not all APIs are popular. That’s why Zyla API Hub aims to help your API get more customers.
Implement Zyla API Hub!
Zyla API Hub is an API Marketplace, a place where thousands of customers visit the website to find an API of their interest or need. But also, it is the place where API Providers can publish their creations, test them and make sure they can get new clients. It is a matter of logic, if your API is hidden, hidden in the vast world of the internet, it will be very unlikely that any user will find it. However, in the Zyla API Hub, it will be visible to everyone so that they can use it, test it and finally, buy it.
The Zyla API Hub service not only takes care of publishing it but much more. A website with information about the API is created, and payment methods are managed so that people can pay more easily and you can receive the money. In addition, it is checked that the API publication process is carried out correctly, to prevent problems from occurring in the future.
The goal is for you to focus 100% on making sure the API works correctly. While you do that, Zyla API Hub will take care of advertising your API, so more people can buy it. The advertising process is based on the mechanisms provided by Google so that websites have more visibility. With all this information, we are more than sure that you will decide to use this platform.
