API monetization in Saudi Arabia: publish your API and sell it on API360
API monetization means charging for the use of your APIs: you publish them as a product, set their plans, prices and usage limits, and the teams that subscribe pay for access. On API360, a provider turns an internal API into a product published on the Saudi API marketplace, and the platform handles subscriptions, keys, usage limits and billing.
How to monetize your API on API360
- Prepare the API for publishing: clear documentation, practical examples and a sandbox.
- Set the plans, prices and usage limits of each plan in API360 Studio.
- Define access permissions and terms: who can see the API and who may subscribe.
- Publish it on the API360 marketplace, where developers and organisations find it, try it and subscribe.
- Follow usage and revenue, and keep improving the service through new versions.

What the platform handles for you
Discovery
A product page on the marketplace with the description, documentation, endpoints and plans, found by the teams searching for your service.
Subscriptions and keys
A subscriber picks a plan and receives an access key that says who they are and what they may call.
Usage limits
Each plan’s limits are enforced at the gateway, so your service stays protected.
Billing
Payment and invoices in Saudi riyals with VAT, without building a billing system of your own.
Revenue tracking
Usage and revenue per product, so you know which APIs are in demand.
Sandbox
Subscribers try your API without touching real data before they pay.
Own data, not an API yet?
Dayal, API360’s data-product framework, turns your data into billable APIs you can sell on the marketplace, with the right governance, classification and pricing.
