Roadmap reference

Phase 6 — Pre-launch: Paid tiers enabled on RapidAPI listings (manual). Extends leeworks-agents/api-company#19 and leeworks-agents/api-company#44 which cover the original three APIs only.

Problem

Issue #44 covers RapidAPI submission for the original 3 APIs (ZIP Enrichment, Holidays, Air Quality). Issue #19 covers PayPal link and paid tier enablement for those same 3 APIs. VIN Decoder was added as a 4th API in issue #117 (spec merged , listing tracker #131 closed ). Neither #19 nor #44 explicitly includes VIN Decoder in their acceptance criteria.

What the operator must do

Once VIN Decoder is listed on RapidAPI (#131) and PayPal is linked (#19):

  1. Create 4 pricing tiers for VIN Decoder on RapidAPI:
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
  1. Confirm VIN Decoder listing is visible on RapidAPI marketplace with pricing showing correctly.

  2. Update payout settings to ensure VIN Decoder revenue flows through the same PayPal account as the other 3 APIs.

Revenue context

  • Net $100/mo target = mix across all 4 APIs
  • VIN Decoder $9/mo Basic × 12 subs OR $19/mo Pro × 6 subs OR $49/mo Ultra × 3 subs would each alone hit target

Acceptance criteria

  • VIN Decoder listing visible on RapidAPI with all 4 tiers configured and pricing correct
  • At least one test subscription succeeds on the Free tier
  • Paid plans are active and PayPal payout is connected for VIN Decoder revenue
  • Issues #44 and #19 are updated to note VIN Decoder is included

Dependencies

Note

This is a manual operator task — gated on operator turning 18 (same as #19).
