Rapid announced the public beta launch of its API Hub for Business.

This new offering allows any business to quickly launch a custom hub to grow its ecosystem, create new revenue streams, and monetize APIs with a flexible price model that supports every API protocol and every API.

“By offering businesses a flexible and transparent API hub, we help reduce the time needed to bring products and services to the market, facilitate their engagement with partners and third parties, and ultimately give them a competitive advantage,” said Wade Wegner, chief product officer at Rapid. “APIs are the building blocks of modern software development that developers rely on to support their organizations’ digital transformation initiatives. API Hub for Business meets the unique needs of organizations looking to start and grow their business.”

Rapid is expanding its product offerings, allowing organizations of all sizes to create their own API hubs, following simple online steps. Rapid provides a centralized location for all APIs, supporting any type and category across any API infrastructure, including multiple API gateways.

Key Features of API Hub for Business include:

- Full ownership of the payment process – allows businesses to use their Stripe account for monetizing APIs, eliminating the need to use a third-party for financial transactions with customers.

- Customizable API Hub – offers control over the look and feel of the experience by allowing for precise branding and customization, including company logo, colors, and imagery, enabling businesses to tailor the API Hub to their specific needs.

- Unique domain – provides a dedicated tenant, allowing businesses to promote their APIs within their dedicated space, enhancing their brand, experience, and discoverability in search.

API Hub for Business provides tools to discover, use, and boost API adoption among partners and third-party developers.
