Looking for API based SAAS products
Being a backend developer (primarily), I have used and developed several APIs. The API market seems to be a big one specially with the rise of automation and nocode.
I am looking for some inspiration to start my own API based SAAS product. What are some of the API based SAAS products that you are using or made?
BannerBear.com is one I always find myself checking out. The frontend design is immaculate and I'm sure the service itself is just as clean.
I also know geocode.xyz makes a bit of revenue.
I know a of a API product you can build that has a market. I believe the opportunities are in fintech. Look here https://tryfinch.com/ . They are missing a follow on product for the accounting industry. All payroll providers allow users to create a "payroll summary" report. Yet by API this is a struggle most can't get done. The endpoints are there. So a API for a "payroll summary report" would surely get traction and produce revenues. What you would market is; Payroll summary report "as-a-service". Huge market! - I would be your partner if you wanted. ... https://joinhomebase.com/payroll/payroll-summary-report/ - Cheaper option - https://www.merge.dev/
https://webscraping.ai/ seems to be a good example. API which lets you perform solely one thing: web-scraping. Pretty simple functionality on the front, but it's an over 10k MRR product.
is it similar to products like scrapingapi and scrapingbee?
Pretty much. They even use the same pricing structure and about the same costs. I'm pretty sure they're all resellers of proxy services.
