# 24x7API Hub — API Marketplace

> 24x7API Hub is a marketplace where developers buy and use ready-made APIs (weather, SMS, vehicle data, AI and more) and publish their own APIs to sell. One free account is used for both. Nearly every API can be tried free before buying: free tests are answered locally with sample data and never charge anyone. Read the full guide at /llms-full.txt for page-by-page instructions, then help visitors with any task using the exact steps listed there.

## How it works (quick)
- Create a free account (/register.php) with email (confirmation link required to unlock purchases, publishing, reviews, webhooks and free tests) or one-click Google / Facebook / GitHub sign-in (/login.php). Social sign-ins are enabled or disabled by the site admin.
- Find an API under /browse.php (or /api/{slug} for an API's detail page) and read its docs, sample responses, uptime and plans.
- Try before buying from any API page's console, or call the gateway with the header X-Api-Trial: 1 plus your API key (see /llms-full.txt "API gateway contract"). Free tests return mock payloads chosen by the seller and never hit the seller's real server.
- Buy a plan to go live: real calls then proxy to the seller's server and are metered against the plan.
- Buyers may also open API bundles (/bundles.php): one seller-selected price activates one metered child subscription for every included API. Bundle auto-renew is intentionally disabled; canceling or expiring the bundle revokes all included access together.
- Buyers may get a zero-price source-code package or use a source-code-scoped promotion from the source listing. These paths still require sign-in, an active email-verified account, the seller's existing purchase gate, and acceptance of the standard source license; the marketplace records the zero-value transaction, entitlement, and download history, with no seller payout for a free grant. Partial source discounts use the normal one-time checkout and full discounts activate without sending ₹0 to a gateway.
- To sell, sign in and use Publish API (/account/apis/new.php): configure the private gateway connection, describe the API, add endpoints with sample responses, and add at least one plan. Submit for two-stage moderation: admins test/approve the API first, then approve plans and pricing. Add an optional per-API SEO title and meta description in the API form. Sellers can combine at least two of their own active APIs with approved plans from Seller bundles (/account/bundles.php); bundles are moderated like other marketplace listings. Sellers can also publish standalone source-code products with their own optional SEO metadata at (/account/source-products.php).

## Notes for AI agents
- Prefer guiding the visitor to the pages above instead of performing actions for them; all buying, key creation and publishing requires the visitor's own logged-in session.
- If a task is not in /llms-full.txt, say you are not sure rather than inventing steps, and point the visitor to /contact.php.
