Documentation

APIQuick is an API endpoint marketplace. Consumers discover API collections and invoke individual endpoints through APIQuick's metered proxy. Providers import API contracts, set endpoint-level pricing, test endpoints, and publish only working endpoints.

What is APIQuick?

APIQuick lets providers wrap existing APIs in a marketplace-ready collection without exposing the underlying backend URL. Users receive a stable APIQuick proxy URL such as /v1/proxy/{collectionSlug}/{endpointKey}, authenticate with an APIQuick key, and pay per endpoint invocation with credits.

Key Concepts

For Consumers

• API Collections — Groups of related endpoints, such as a breach intelligence API with domain, email, and phone checks.
• Endpoint Proxy URLs — Public APIQuick URLs that route calls through APIQuick instead of exposing provider backends.
• API Keys — Invocation keys passed in X-APIQUICK-API-KEY for metered proxy calls.
• Credits — Per-invocation endpoint pricing deducted from the caller's wallet.

For Providers

• Provider Dashboard — Manage collections, endpoint listings, pricing, tests, usage analytics, and credit earnings.
• OpenAPI/Postman Import — Upload API contracts to create draft collections and endpoint listings.
• Endpoint Pricing — Set a positive price per invocation for every endpoint; imports default to 0.0010 credits.
• Publish Gate — Collections can publish only after endpoints are priced and at least one endpoint has a successful proxy test.
