What do you like best about RapidAPI?
Our experience with RapidAPI has been generally positive except for our last experience with their support, and there are several aspects of the platform that we appreciate, one of them is the extensive API marketplace Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about RapidAPI?
We tried multiple channels to contact RapidAPI's support, including emails and online forms, but we didn't receive any updates for two weeks. They keep repeating that their engineering team will review our case and nothing happens after that. Very bad experience with RapidAPI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about RapidAPI?
RapidAPI has a very huge collection of public API's so I can use it easily.
Since RapidAPI authentication, it lowers the security risk of the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about RapidAPI?
The free version has limited number of requests.
Since most of the API's are public API, there will be no longer support in future for them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about RapidAPI?
Quick and simple to get going. Easy to use, reasonable documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about RapidAPI?
I subscribe to a $35 service. Logged in to find $5000+ spend in overage charges, I asked for IP addresses querying and limits, their reply (should have been internal):
We do not disclose the IP address of the request as it's not part of the information we typically share with consumers. Additionally, we do not provide more detailed logs beyond the last 200 on the Public Hub.
Regarding protection, it's the responsibility of the consumer to implement mechanisms to block a certain number of calls on their server side; it is not our responsibility.

What do you like best about RapidAPI?
Cost for API's are fairly good and the response is not bad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about RapidAPI?
Terrible Support, UX is horrible, No way to limit spend, reporting is minimal at best. Security is lacking on Api usage. Would like to be able to lock down domain or ip usages on keys. Lot's of room for improvement here. I was thinking of publishing an API but their cost to do so looked way overpriced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about RapidAPI?
Rapid API is a marketplace where users can connect to thousands of APIs. The best part I like is that every API user can see performance matrices like average latency, uptime and popularity. Team members can share internal APIs and microservices with the public APIs in Rapid APIs for teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about RapidAPI?
While testing endpoints for a few APIs, they don't work properly. I feel they were overrated using them because of a few minor issues during testing. Other than these, Rapid API is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about RapidAPI?
This website has helped me discover many quality APIs. It has a good collection of APIs. We can easily find APIs for our project and embed the API into our app. We can track all our APIs through a single dashboard. RapidAPI has thousands of free APIs with code snippets and implementation in various languages. I would say that this is one among the best API marketplaces. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about RapidAPI?
I am not a fan of the interface. Sometimes the connection gets slowed down. New users might find it challenging to design APIs. Also, I am a little skeptical about the security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
