Roadmap reference

Phase 6 — Pre-launch: submit all APIs to RapidAPI and enable paid tiers. Extends leeworks-agents/api-company#44 which covers ZIP Enrichment, Holidays, and Air Quality. VIN Decoder was added as a 4th API in issue #117.

Problem

Issue #44 covers the original three APIs only. VIN Decoder needs its own RapidAPI listing with the same tier structure, proxy-secret configuration, and CI secret (issue #116 extended similarly).

What the operator must do

After the VIN Decoder server is deployed (issue #121) and PayPal is linked (issue #19):

  1. Go to RapidAPI dashboard → Add New API → name: VIN Decoder
  2. Upload apis/vin-decoder/openapi.yaml from this repo (or from leeworks-agents/vin-decoder)
  3. Use listing copy from docs/rapidapi-listings.md (update that file with VIN Decoder section first — see sub-task below)
  4. Configure 4 pricing tiers:
    Tier Monthly Price Request Limit Rate Limit
    Free $0 100 req/mo 5 req/min
    Basic $9 5,000 req/mo 60 req/min
    Pro $19 20,000 req/mo 200 req/min
    Ultra $49 100,000 req/mo 500 req/min
  5. Copy the Proxy Secret from RapidAPI dashboard → VIN Decoder → Settings → Security
  6. Update rapidapi-proxy-secret in the vin-decoder namespace (issue #128) with the real value
  7. Add Gitea Actions secrets for the VIN Decoder listing IDs (extend issue #116 pattern):
    • RAPIDAPI_VIN_API_ID
    • RAPIDAPI_VIN_VERSION_ID
  8. Submit for RapidAPI review

Sub-task (agent can do now)

  • Add VIN Decoder section to docs/rapidapi-listings.md with title, short description, long description, and use-case examples — mirroring the style of the existing three API listing docs.

Acceptance criteria

  • VIN Decoder is live on RapidAPI with a free tier accessible to testers
  • All 4 pricing tiers are configured on the VIN Decoder listing
  • RapidAPI proxy secret is set in vin-decoder namespace (issue #128 completed with real value)
  • RAPIDAPI_VIN_API_ID and RAPIDAPI_VIN_VERSION_ID Actions secrets set in leeworks-agents/api-company
  • Issue #116 updated or a follow-up issue created for the two new secrets

Dependencies

Note

The listing creation is a manual operator task. The agent can pre-populate the docs/rapidapi-listings.md copy for VIN Decoder.

@tech-writer — Agent-implemented

The agent sub-task from this issue has been completed:

  • Added Section 4 — VIN Decoder API to docs/rapidapi-listings.md with:
    • Title, tagline (≤120 chars), short description (≤300 chars)
    • Full long description with feature bullets, data source, coverage, caching, and 6 use-case examples
    • Tier table: Free ($0/100 req), Basic ($9/5k req), Pro ($19/20k req), Ultra ($49/100k req) — matches issue spec
    • Endpoint descriptions for /v1/decode, /v1/batch, /v1/health
    • Keywords for RapidAPI discoverability
    • Style mirrors the existing 3 API sections

Committed in PR #132 (merged to main).

Remaining operator actions (still blocked on prerequisites):

  1. Deploy VIN Decoder server (issue #121 → depends on #122, #120)
  2. Link PayPal (issue #19)
  3. Create RapidAPI listing using the copy now in docs/rapidapi-listings.md
  4. Configure 4 pricing tiers per the table in this issue
  5. Copy RapidAPI proxy secret → update rapidapi-proxy-secret in vin-decoder namespace (issue #128)
  6. Add RAPIDAPI_VIN_API_ID and RAPIDAPI_VIN_VERSION_ID Actions secrets (see issue #116)
