Publish your API.
Get paid in sats.

The ArkAPI Marketplace lets any developer list an API endpoint and earn Bitcoin for every call. We handle payments, metering, authentication, and abuse protection. You just build the API. Currently live on Signet test network only.

How the marketplace works
Three steps to monetize your API.
You register an endpoint, set your price in sats, and point it at your server. ArkAPI proxies every request, handles the payment, and forwards the sats to your wallet.
01
📡

Register

Submit your API endpoint, set a price per call in sats, and provide your backend URL. We generate a public route on ArkAPI that consumers can discover and call.

02
⚡

We proxy

When a consumer calls your endpoint, ArkAPI authenticates the session, checks their balance, deducts sats, and forwards the request to your backend. You never touch payments.

03
₿

Earn sats

Your share of every call is accumulated and settled to your Bitcoin wallet via Lightning or Ark. You set the price, we take a small platform fee, and the rest is yours.
