What RoutexAPI is
RoutexAPI is a public API marketplace and gateway for developers who want to find and subscribe to APIs, and publishers who want to list and monetize them. Buyers can browse listings by category, filter for free or paid APIs, and use one RoutexAPI account, key, and bill for their subscriptions. Publishers can import an OpenAPI specification or add endpoints manually, then set plans, prices, rate limits, and quotas. The gateway authenticates requests, checks subscriptions, applies per-second rate limits and daily or monthly quotas, proxies calls, and records analytics. Publisher dashboards show subscribers, usage, latency, and revenue; buyers can track consumption against quota. Browsing and searching are free, while each publisher sets API-specific prices and many listings offer a free tier. RoutexAPI provides web and API access, and customers can run its marketplace, gateway, and dashboard on their own infrastructure. Security includes hashed buyer keys and passwords, encrypted publisher credentials, optional TOTP two-factor authentication, and rotating refresh tokens.
