- asim 5y agoHi, yes this is the end goal and for it to be entirely self service. For now we're working directly with those third parties and doing the integration ourselves but ideally we want to let people do it themselves, display their own logos and price the APIs however they see fit. Happy to chat further about it and get ideas too on how we could speed this up.
- 256DEV 5y agoI've actually just gone through the process of integrating my currency API [1] with Micro. I really liked the idea for this service and actually just emailed them asking your exact question! The process was smooth and I was impressed by their clear communication and very responsive development work. I've been a user of RapidAPI as both an API publisher & consumer and I think I prefer this Micro model instead - API curation, standardized docs etc. etc. RapidAPI can feel like a bit of a free for all and even though it's technically one entity proxying everything it's often felt to me like more of a list of random services than something cohesive. I can definitely see why Micro is describing their service as a sort of AWS of useful APIs. [1] https://www.exchangerate-api.com https://www.exchangerate-api.com
