Comment on Ask HN: How much to charge for an API call?

Comments

There are really only two important considerations here:

a) What does it cost to provide an api call? (Don't forget to consider both fixed cost to develop the API and ongoing costs to provide the compute.)

b) What's the api worth to your customers? Make some calls and do some research.

If b > a, then charge b.
