ApiClay is the full API marketplace layer—discovery, structured documentation, trials, credits, and gateway-backed traffic—so every listing behaves like a serious data product, not a throwaway static URL.
Data to API
Your data is already a product—give it an API storefront
MySQL, MongoDB, Postgres, Airtable, spreadsheets, OpenAPI, custom HTTP, and multi-source aggregators: connect the source, publish governed routes, and sell through the same marketplace billing model.
How it works
From first connection to recurring revenue-without standing up a bespoke developer portal.
Your source of truth
Keep data where it already lives—whether that is a database, a grid, a file URL, or an existing HTTP service.
Your published contract
Map tables, routes, or specs in the dashboard. Secrets stay server-side; buyers see documented paths, limits, and trial rules.
Your integrators
List on Discover, issue trials, convert subscribers, and meter usage with credits—without rebuilding auth for every partner.
Ditch the duct tape.
Do it the ApiClay way.
The build-everything way
Stand up auth, rate limits, docs portals, and payments before a single external integration ships.
The ApiClay way
Reuse marketplace identity, policy, and billing so you focus on the dataset or service itself.
The CSV attachment way
Email exports that are stale the moment they leave your outbox.
The ApiClay way
HTTPS + keys + row governance for spreadsheet and file-backed sources alike.
The share-credentials way
Slack database passwords to “trusted” partners.
The ApiClay way
Buyers integrate with subscription-scoped access; your connection strings never appear in docs.
The invisible API way
A working endpoint nobody can find, price, or trust.
The ApiClay way
Public listings, ratings, support tickets, and transparent usage history.
The AI prompt roulette way
Paste sensitive URLs into chat tools and hope the model does not leak them.
The ApiClay way
Point assistants at documented gateway routes instead of raw sharing links.
