REVENUE CALCULATOR
What could your feed earn?
Platform floor $0.001
Cache hits never reach your origin, so they pay no provider share.
A marketplace taking 20% would net $12K on the same volume, but your origin would serve every call.
WHY LIST
Five things you get on day one
AI enabled immediately
Described by capability embeddings in a semantic catalog, published as OpenAPI with x-price and exposed as MCP tools. USDC payments on from day one.
More money
Paid in USDC by agents that never commit to monthly plans. 15% commission, not 20%. Monthly payouts on Base.
Higher quality
Edge caching cuts latency and origin load. Probes every 5 minutes report uptime, latency, schema and freshness back to you.
Better security
A PII gate scans sample responses before anything goes live. Cloudflare DDoS protection, time-limited keys, encrypted credentials.
Smarter data
See which endpoints agents call, how often, and what they search for that you do not yet serve.
ONBOARDING

Frequently asked questions
About listing, keys and onboarding.
What does it cost to list?
Nothing. We take 15% of revenue that flows through the platform. Advanced analytics are an optional $99/month add-on.
How do you get our API key?
Never by email or through this form. Once you sign in to the provider portal with your work email, you paste a service key for RealtimeAPI. It is encrypted with AES-256-GCM the moment it arrives, stored only encrypted, never shown again, and only our gateway and monitoring can use it. You can replace or remove it at any time, and revoking it on your side cuts us off instantly. Issue a separate key with its own rate limit so you can see our traffic.
We don't have an OpenAPI spec. Can we still list?
Yes. Apply with a link to your docs and we will build the spec with you. Early providers get hands-on onboarding.
How long does onboarding take?
With an OpenAPI URL, the importer creates endpoints, suggests prices, samples responses through the PII gate and generates your listing page. Most feeds publish in under 10 minutes once your provider is approved.
Do I keep my existing customers and keys?
Yes. The gateway proxies your API with the service key you provide; your direct customers are untouched.
The terms, in plain English
- Listing Listing is free. You may list any API you own or are licensed to resell. We may decline or remove listings that break these terms or the law.
- Pricing You set the price per endpoint, from the platform floor of $0.001 per call. Price changes take effect for new requests after you publish them.
- Commission We keep 15% of revenue from paid calls served by your origin; you receive 85%. Cache hits served from our edge pay no provider share.
- Billing Only successful (2xx) responses are billed. Upstream errors, timeouts and unavailable endpoints are never charged to callers.
- Payouts Paid monthly in USDC on Base to the payout address in your provider portal, once your balance reaches $25. You are responsible for any taxes on your earnings.
- Credentials Service keys are encrypted (AES-256-GCM) on arrival, never shown again and used only by our gateway and monitoring. You can rotate or revoke them at any time.
- Data & content You confirm you have the rights to the data you serve. Sample responses pass a PII gate before going live; we may pause endpoints that expose personal or sensitive data.
- Caching You set cache TTLs per endpoint. We will not serve cached data older than the TTL you set, and every response carries its data age.
- Monitoring We probe endpoints as often as every 5 minutes and publish uptime, latency and freshness on your listing. Persistent failures may lower ranking or pause the listing.
- Ending a listing You can unpublish at any time from the portal. Earned balances are paid out on the next monthly cycle once they reach the $25 minimum.
- Liability The platform is provided as is. Each party is responsible for its own service; neither is liable for indirect or consequential losses.
- Changes We will give providers at least 30 days’ email notice before material changes to these terms or the commission rate.
