FAQ from API Hub

What is API Hub?

API Hub is a platform that provides access to enterprise-grade APIs and ready-to-use Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for both traditional applications and AI agents. It connects users to powerful APIs with cloud infrastructure and predictable pricing. The platform also serves as a central hub for publishing and managing APIs, offering tools for AI integration, documentation, and a marketplace for developers and AI agents to discover and utilize APIs.

How to use API Hub?

Users can access and integrate existing APIs and MCP servers into their applications or AI agents. They can also publish their own APIs on the platform, setting their pricing and leveraging API Hub's infrastructure, payment processing, and distribution. The platform supports converting existing APIs into MCP-compatible servers through a simple registration, configuration, and deployment process.

How do API pricing models work in the marketplace?

API pricing varies by provider. Some APIs are completely free, while others may charge per request, per usage tier, or have consumption-based pricing (especially LLM APIs). Each API listing clearly displays its pricing model.

How does the credit system work?

Our marketplace uses a credit-based payment system. You add credits to your account and they are consumed as you use paid APIs. When your credits run low (USD 5 remaining), you can enable auto top-up to automatically recharge your account using your saved payment method.

Is it free to publish my APIs on the marketplace?

Yes, publishing APIs on our marketplace is completely free with any account type. You can set your own pricing model and receive 70% of the revenue generated from your APIs. We handle all billing and payments.

What's included in the team plans?

Our Team plan costs $7 per user per month with unlimited team members, collaboration features, and priority support. Higher rate limits can be requested as needed. For organizations with specific needs, our Enterprise plan offers custom solutions with dedicated support and advanced security features. All plans include the ability to publish APIs.

What types of pricing models can I use for my APIs?

As an API publisher, you can choose from several pricing models including free, pay-per-request, tiered pricing, subscription-based, or consumption-based for resource-intensive APIs like LLMs. You have full control over your pricing strategy.

Do you offer any discounts for high-volume API usage?

Yes, many APIs offer tiered pricing with automatic discounts for higher volume. Additionally, our Enterprise plans provide discounted rates on many premium APIs and higher rate limits.
