Roadmap reference

Phase 6 — Pre-launch: Paid tiers enabled on RapidAPI listings (manual, after PayPal linked).

What to do

This issue covers the RapidAPI submission and configuration steps that cannot be automated by the agent:

  1. Create RapidAPI developer account at https://rapidapi.com/provider (requires age 18+)
  2. Link PayPal in RapidAPI Payout Settings (requires PayPal account — do on 18th birthday)
  3. For each of the 3 APIs (ZIP Enrichment, Holidays, Air Quality):
    • Create a new API listing on RapidAPI
    • Upload the openapi.yaml from the respective repo
    • Copy listing description from docs/rapidapi-listings/ (written in issue #24)
    • Configure 4 pricing tiers:
      Tier Monthly Price Request Limit Rate Limit
      Free /bin/bash 100 req/mo 5 req/min
      Basic 5,000 req/mo 60 req/min
      Pro 9 20,000 req/mo 200 req/min
      Ultra 9 100,000 req/mo 500 req/min
    • Set the RapidAPI proxy secret in the cluster (as a Kubernetes secret) to validate incoming requests
    • Submit for review
  4. Revenue target reminder: $100/mo net ≈ 15 Basic OR 7 Pro OR 3 Ultra subscribers

Acceptance criteria

  • All 3 APIs are live on RapidAPI with a free tier accessible to testers
  • All 4 pricing tiers are configured on each listing
  • RapidAPI proxy secret is configured in the cluster for each API service
  • PayPal is linked and payout threshold is set

Dependencies

Note

This is a manual operator task. The agent cannot log into RapidAPI. The agent's role is to ensure the OpenAPI specs, listing copy, and proxy-secret infrastructure are all ready before the operator sits down to do this.

📋 Triage: Manual Operator Task

This issue covers RapidAPI marketplace submission and PayPal linking — both require human login and are not automatable by the agent.

Agent pre-work status (all complete):

  • OpenAPI specs exist per API repo (Phase 1)
  • RapidAPI listing copy committed to docs/rapidapi-listings.md (done in #24 cycle)
  • Pricing tiers documented in issue body
  • Proxy-secret middleware architecture defined in #18

Operator action required:

  1. Create RapidAPI developer account at https://rapidapi.com/provider
  2. Link PayPal in Payout Settings (requires being 18+)
  3. For each of the 3 APIs: upload openapi.yaml, copy listing description from docs/rapidapi-listings.md, configure 4 pricing tiers
  4. Set RapidAPI proxy secret in the cluster as a Kubernetes secret per service

The agent will implement the Kubernetes secret scaffolding for the RapidAPI proxy secret once the secret values are known (as part of Phase 3 server deployment per #18).

Leaving open — this is a human operator action.
