This episode from the Cognixia Podcast explores how to monetize an API using AWS services, particularly the Amazon API Gateway. It covers key challenges like managing subscriptions, handling payments globally, and controlling API access. The episode suggests using the AWS Marketplace to sell APIs but notes that it limits potential customers to AWS users. Alternatives include broader API marketplaces like Rapid API, or subscription platforms like Stripe and FastSpring. It explains how combining API Gateway, Lambda functions, and a payment platform can create a functional API monetization system, emphasizing careful marketplace selection and usage plan considerations.
