The problem
Stop Building API Infrastructure From Scratch
Every API business needs the same plumbing. Building it yourself slows you down — and takes months of engineering.
Building API infrastructure takes months.
API authentication, rate limits, usage tracking, billing, developer portal — every one of these needs to be designed, built and maintained before you can sell a single request.
Building a marketplace is even harder.
To let third-party developers buy your APIs you also need a catalog, subscriptions, orders, billing, API keys, usage tracking and a developer portal working together.
Data APIs need infrastructure too.
Having data doesn't mean you have a sellable data product. Cleansing, structuring, serving and metering that data as an API is a project of its own.
AI APIs are a new infrastructure layer.
LLM, image and video APIs need a unified gateway, key management, quotas, token-level usage, billing and model routing — none of which you want to build per provider.
You shouldn't have to build all of this yourself.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
The answers teams ask us most before getting started.
Who is OKayAPI built for?
Software companies, SaaS teams, data providers, system integrators and AI startups that want to turn an existing capability, dataset or model into a sellable API product without months of platform engineering.
Do I have to build the whole platform from scratch?
No. OKayAPI covers the infrastructure you would otherwise build yourself — API gateway, API keys, authentication, rate limiting, usage analytics, billing and a developer portal — so you can focus on your product and your customers.
What kind of data APIs can I launch?
Any structured dataset. Company data, trade data, automotive and VIN data, risk data, market data and more. You bring the data source; OKayAPI handles the pipeline, the API layer, documentation and monetization.
How does the API marketplace work?
Publish your APIs to a catalog where customers can discover them, subscribe to a plan, get API keys and start calling immediately. Subscription, orders, billing and usage tracking are handled for you.
Can I offer AI APIs to my customers?
Yes. Expose LLM, image generation, video generation, embedding and reranking APIs through a unified AI gateway with key management, quotas, token-level usage tracking and billing — no per-provider plumbing required.
Where can I deploy OKayAPI?
Cloud, VPS, private cloud or on-premise. Your API, your customers and your data stay under your control — you own the infrastructure and the relationship.
How does billing work for my customers?
Create subscription plans or usage-based pricing for each API product. Customers pay through your portal, and you keep full visibility into revenue, orders and usage per API key.
What if I need source code or a private deployment?
Talk to us. Enterprise deployments include source access, private deployment support and dedicated onboarding for data providers and API marketplace operators.
