Greetings,

I am interested in creating a website that offers free APIs for use in various projects. For instance, you could use the API to obtain search results or access the MyIP API. I am open to suggestions for other APIs that would be helpful.

There is only one restriction I will impose, which is a limit on the number of requests per second.

If I proceed with this idea, would you be interested in using it? Please note that any financial support would be voluntary donations (No Stupid Memberships, Credits, or any pay-to-use)

Thank you.

Honestly I would probably not use it. One if the most important things I'm looking for in an API is reliability - and a project that has no financing is really just waiting to have its plug pulled.

You might be highly motivated right now to keep it going for many years. But without a steady income it might just be a burden to keep it going at some point.

(Nothing personally obviously, I don't know you and wish you all the best!)
