The Problem

Developers waste time navigating different API documentation formats and sites.

Real Demand Evidence

Found on web-research·1 month ago

I integrate with five different APIs and each one has docs in a different format on a different site. I waste an hour every time I need to check rate limits or auth flows across services.

Core Insight

A unified API documentation portal that aggregates docs for multiple services at an affordable price.

Willingness to Pay

  • Developers pay $12-29/month for API tooling; an aggregated docs portal for common indie-dev APIs at $9/month would convert well in the Indie Hackers community.
