But I'm not selling access to an API. I'm selling exactly the kind of data and content found on the site.

- coderdude 17y agoYes, but that is your implementation of the freemium model. There are other sites, including my example, that allow free access to their data on the site, but then sell the data (in one form or another). You use embedded stats, iBegin uses datasets, other companies might charge for their API.
- mitrca 17y agoYou are highlighting how my example is different from the others :-)
- coderdude 17y agoI'm actually highlighting how your business model is just a single execution of a broader method of conducting business. However, in the sense that your end product differs from the other examples, yes. If you really want it that bad.
- blweiner 17y agoWhy do you think an API can't expose exactly the kind of data and content found on a site?
