API Venue is my latest personal project, designed to offer REST APIs for various use cases. The goal is to provide affordable, low-latency, and high-quality APIs.
One of the biggest marketplace for APIs is Rapid API, where developer can publish their APIs and anyone can use them for free or with a subscription plan. The average cost of an API seems to be around $25 per month. So I thought, “There must be a way to offer high-quality APIs at a more affordable price.”
As of today, all APIs offered by API Venue are either free or more affordable than the average API on RapidAPI, while still providing very low latency globally.
These are some of the APIs available now:
- Airports: provides airport data, including ICAO/IATA codes and local time
- Football: provides football fixtures, live scores, teams, and players (check out the demo)
- Country Codes: provides country and subdivision ISO codes
- QR Code: for creating QR Codes in different ways
- EZ Twitter X: for fetching Twitter/X data including users and tweets
Airport API and Football API seem to be already very popular with a score of more than 9!
Achieving good performance at low cost has been challenging, because in general, the more the performance the more the cost. I will share more details about these challenges and solutions in future posts.
The list of APIs will grow over time, depending on how much time I can dedicate to it. For now, thank you for reading, and have a nice day.
