APIHub FAQs

Question 1

What is APIHub and how does it simplify API access?

Accepted Answer

APIHub is a unified gateway that simplifies access to paid APIs. It allows users to discover and call a wide range of APIs using USDC credits, eliminating the need for a crypto wallet or dealing with per-call gas fees.

Question 2

How does APIHub achieve 'gasless' and 'walletless' API transactions?

Accepted Answer

APIHub uses a credit-based system where you top up your balance once with USDC. This avoids per-call on-chain transactions, gas fees, and the necessity for a crypto wallet or EIP-3009 signing for each individual API request.

Question 3

What types of APIs can I access through APIHub?

Accepted Answer

APIHub provides unified access to both internal APIHub services and a broad catalog of external APIs compatible with the x402 protocol. This allows for diverse API discovery and calling capabilities.

Question 4

What are the core benefits of using APIHub's credit system over traditional methods?

Accepted Answer

The APIHub credit system offers gasless transactions, walletless operation, instant credit debit at the edge (without block confirmations), and seamless integration into any MCP client using a simple Bearer token for authentication.

Question 5

How do I get started with APIHub?

Accepted Answer

You can quickly get started by installing the APIHub CLI, registering for a free API key at apihub.io, and then topping up your credit balance to begin discovering and calling APIs instantly.
