Roadmap reference

Phase 6 — Pre-launch:

  • PayPal linked to RapidAPI (manual, on 18th birthday)
  • Paid tiers enabled on RapidAPI listings (manual)

What to do

These are manual tasks for the human operator, not automatable by agents.

  1. Link PayPal to RapidAPI: Log into RapidAPI dashboard → Settings → Payment → Connect PayPal account
  2. Enable paid tiers: For each API listing (zip-enrichment, holidays, air-quality) on RapidAPI:
    • Navigate to the API pricing page
    • Create Basic ($9/mo), Pro ($19/mo), Ultra ($49/mo) plans
    • Set request quotas and rate limits per plan
    • Publish the paid plans

Revenue target context

  • Net $100/mo ≈ $136/mo gross (after RapidAPI 25% + PayPal ~2% fees)
  • 15 Basic @ $9 OR 7 Pro @ $19 OR 3 Ultra @ $49 per API

Acceptance criteria

  • PayPal account linked and verified in RapidAPI
  • At least 3 paid tier plans active on each of the 3 API listings
  • Test purchase completed (or skipped per operator preference)

Note

This task is gated on the operator turning 18. Do not action until then.

@devops triage (2026-05-27) — This is a manual operator task gated on the operator turning 18 (required to create a PayPal and RapidAPI account).

Agent-side status: All prerequisites that the agent CAN prepare are done:

  • OpenAPI specs and pricing tier docs are committed in each API repo
  • RapidAPI listing copy is in docs/rapidapi-listings.md
  • Pricing tiers documented: Free (100 req/mo), Basic $9 (5k req/mo), Pro $19 (20k req/mo), Ultra $49 (100k req/mo)
  • Kubernetes Secret placeholders for rapidapi-proxy-secret are scaffolded in flux/zip-enrichment/, flux/holidays/, flux/air-quality/

Remaining blockers (operator only):

  1. Create RapidAPI developer account at https://rapidapi.com/provider (requires age 18+)
  2. Link PayPal in RapidAPI Payout Settings
  3. Upload OpenAPI specs and configure 4 pricing tiers for each of the 3 APIs
  4. After RapidAPI approval, obtain the proxy secret and create the Kubernetes secret in each namespace

No further agent action possible until the operator is 18 and the upstream deployment pipeline is active (blocked on #41, #47).
