API aggregator
One route. Many backends. Smarter traffic.
Model redundancy, provider diversity, or fan-out merges with aggregator companies: define routes, attach sources, and pick failover or parallel strategies—then monetize the composite like any other API.
How it works
Three moves from raw source to a buyer-ready listing-no all-nighter on StackOverflow required.
Your sources
List primary and secondary HTTP providers, each with its own proxy configuration stored securely.
Your strategy
Choose failover when you need resilience or parallel mode when you want to merge complementary responses.
Your contract
Describe output expectations and policies so buyers understand latency and partial-failure behavior.
Ditch the slow path.
Do it the ApiClay way.
The DNS failover fantasy
Hope the CDN picks the healthy origin.
The ApiClay way
Explicit source ordering with observability per provider.
The merge-in-code way
Maintain a bespoke service that calls five vendors.
The ApiClay way
Configure sources declaratively and let the gateway orchestrate.
The single-vendor lock-in
When they outage, you outage.
The ApiClay way
Hot-swap secondary vendors without changing buyer URLs.
The chatty client
Mobile apps call three APIs sequentially.
The ApiClay way
Parallel mode can reduce round trips for eligible payloads.
Works with the tools you already use
Buyers and publishers integrate ApiClay APIs the same way they integrate any REST product: HTTP, keys, and OpenAPI-style docs.
Postman & Insomnia
Exercise endpoints from your workspace with the same base URL and headers we document.
curl & scripts
Automate pulls in CI, cron, or ETL without a proprietary SDK.
OpenAPI clients
Generate typed clients when your listing is backed by Swagger or custom HTTP routes.
Retool & internal apps
Point low-code tools at stable JSON endpoints instead of raw database access.
AI coding assistants
Paste OpenAPI-style docs into your AI-assisted IDE or coding chat and wire UIs or agents to live data fast—no bespoke SDK required.
Serverless & containers
Call the marketplace gateway from Lambda, Cloud Run, or your API mesh.
Endless possibilities
Do not just expose rows-ship a business buyers can subscribe to.
The dual-provider weather feed
Primary vendor plus government backup—buyers see one endpoint.
The KYC composite
Merge identity, watchlist, and document verification responses behind a single subscription.
The inventory mesh
Blend GDS and direct connect APIs without exposing partner credentials.
The headline redundancy
If wire A stalls, wire B answers for breaking alerts.
The geocode hedge
Round-robin vendors to respect quotas while presenting one developer experience.
The approved vendor list
IT mandates two AI providers; product ships one route that fans out per policy.
Simple economics: publish, subscribe, scale
You set trials, subscription plans, and pay-as-you-go credits. Buyers only pay for what they use—no surprise infra line items on your side for the gateway.
Free to list: create a company, connect your source, and go through approval like any marketplace vendor.
Trials and caps: give first-time integrators a taste without exposing unlimited rows or requests.
Credits & plans: mix recurring plans with metered overage so power users can grow into paid usage.
Burning questions
Straight answers-no lawyer-speak.
Do buyers see upstream URLs?
How do partial failures work in parallel mode?
Can I aggregate non-HTTP sources?
Is this the same as custom HTTP?
