About API products
Products tagged API expose their features to other software, so you can build on them instead of using them by hand.
An API-first product is designed around programmatic access: what you can do in the interface, you can usually do with a request. Pricing normally follows usage rather than seats, and the limits matter more than the feature list.
How to choose API products
- Read the rate limits and what happens when you exceed them.
- Check authentication, key rotation, and per-environment keys.
- Confirm the response format and whether there is a sandbox or test mode.
- Look for versioning and a deprecation policy before you build on it.
Frequently asked questions
The API is a primary product surface, not an afterthought: it is documented, versioned, and priced on its own, and it can do what the interface does.
Most price per request, per token, or per compute unit, often with a free allowance. Check the overage rate and the hard cap before committing.
