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.

It could work if you aggregated incompatible providers in the same category (such as weather) into one big aggregate API. That way, people wouldn’t need to refactor if their favorite API provider ramps up pricing or dies. But how would I trust you to keep offering the same service at a good price point instead of an established meteorological institution? Also, I think weather aggregators already exist.
