Skyfire’s platform is built to offer straightforward APIs and tools that let you focus on what matters: monetizing your service.

How API Monetization Works:

There are 2 ways to monetize your services with Skyfire depending on the use case and integration scope.

Accepting Payment as Auth:

Payment as Auth are payments that are included with the API service call.

Payment as Auth allows you to monetize a straightforward API that can be made available to all Skyfire enabled agents on demand at a price per API call you set.

Skyfire offers a no-code option for monetizing your endpoints immediately, where Skyfire proxies your API service and payments arrive in your Skyfire wallet.

Agents can access your existing service via a Skyfire proxy URL including theirskyfire-api-key in the header.

See Pricing Culture API as an example of Payment as Auth

Accepting Standalone Payments:

Standalone Payments are payments that are not included with the API service call.

Standalone Payments is used with a variety of service providers that have stricter requirements on access or services that require one time payments outside of individual API calls.

Agents can make a payment using the skyfire endpointv1/paymentand their skyfire-api-key to your receiverUsername. The agent then provides you with a token validating as proof of payment.

See Standalone Payments SDK for how to implement accepting standalone payments
