RapidAPI Marketplace API

Turn the entire RapidAPI marketplace into structured data. This API searches and extracts public API listings from RapidAPI, returning pricing, categories, popularity and reliability metrics, publisher details, billing plans and ratings. No RapidAPI account, login, or key required.

It is built as a low-cost, pay-per-result loss leader, one of the cheapest ways on Apify to pull marketplace data for API discovery, market research, and competitive intelligence.

What it does

• Search the marketplace by one or many keywords and collect every matching API.
• Filter by category and sort by relevance, trending, last updated, or alphabetical.
• Pull rich detail per API: full billing plans, subscriber counts, ratings, readme docs, and website.
• Extract directly from RapidAPI API URLs or whole collection pages.

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-result pricing and is deliberately priced as a loss leader, among the cheapest options on Apify for marketplace data:

• Basic listing result: 0.0001 USD each.
• Detailed API result: 0.0005 USD each (an extra page fetch per API for billing plans, ratings, readme, and subscriber counts).

You only pay for results actually returned. Set a run budget and the Actor stops cleanly when the budget is reached.
