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.

    Here is a possible case study for you. https://OpenRouter.ai.

    They are doing what you think of doing, for the various LLM APIs. Three reasons why they offer added value:

    1. Some people cannot access some of these APIs directly (GPT-4 in the advanced settings, Anthropic’s Claude is still close access)
    2. They abstract the way these API are accessed so that the code to use different models does not have to change much.
    3. For some reason, they cost the same as the original API
