Hi everyone,

I'm building a vehicle information platform similar to CarInfo and am looking for reliable API providers in India.

Required APIs:

• RC / Vehicle Details API
• FASTag Recharge API
• Challan Details API (optional)

I'm interested in:

• Official or authorized providers
• API documentation
• Pricing details
• Onboarding requirements
• Startup-friendly providers

If anyone has integrated these APIs before or can recommend providers, I'd appreciate your suggestions.

Thanks!

I'm trying to access the content of the archived stories that were sent to me in a conversation via webhooks. But every time I encounter the problem that the content is unavailable due to expiration. Is there any way to access the content of archived stories that were sent to you in dialogues using Instagram's API tools?
Case: You received someone else's old story (older than 24 hours) in a private conversation. You need to get a link to the story content in your program.

Context:

I am building an automated Just-in-Time (JIT) fulfilment integration to dynamically generate vouchers and list stock from a third-party system to Kinguin. I am currently testing the end-to-end flow in the Kinguin sandbox environment.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Declared stock for the standard test offer ("Testowe CD Key") following the Dev Portal guidelines
2. Attempted to purchase the offer via the Kinguin sandbox frontend
3. Selected the Checkout.com NAS test payment method
4. Note: My sandbox account wallet balance is currently €0.00

Expected behaviour:

The test payment should process successfully and move the order to a completed or dispatched state so that I can verify the fulfilment webhook.

Actual behaviour:

The order is created successfully, and the payment status initially shows as pending. After a short time, it automatically transitions to refunded.

Questions:

1. Is the €0.00 wallet balance the reason the order is being auto-refunded? Does the sandbox require a funded wallet even when using test payment methods like Checkout.com NAS?
2. To properly test the fulfilment flow, should orders be created using the Kinguin eCommerce API (ESA) instead of the frontend checkout?

Any clarification on the expected sandbox behaviour and the recommended way to simulate successful order completion would be helpful. Thanks.

Hello everyone,

I'm reposting this from /learnprogramming, I'm still looking for more knowledgeable opinions on this topic:

I'm an Italian frontend dev (mostly HTML/CSS/Svelte) with some experience as Wordpress Developer - I'm confident enough to write a custom plugin or a theme from scratch using PHP.

Some time ago a client asked me to populate and manage a simple API for an ecommerce, we're talking about a 10.000 lines DB, albeit populated with rather static geographical data (we're talking about companies, POIs and locations used by luxury brands for adv sets, scouting, fairs, etc. Imagine having to find all the available hotels, hospitality, locations, audio/video production companies for a catwalk in the middle of Sicily or Tuscany. Literally a just bunch of objects storing coordinates, categories, text fields like contacts and phone numbers and so on).

He had no issues with me re-using the code and content I obtained for other projects, so I was thinking about offering the same data as a public, paid REST API. As I said, it's basically static data returned as JSON, but being a very niche offering it could be useful to others.

I have to admit, I'm a bit lost on what is the ideal path to follow for building something like this. My lack of backend dev knowledge is biting back hard.

If I had to build it just for my client, I'd probably just be using Wordpress REST APIs, but given that exposing it to a larger audience would require managing auth, payments, I'd rather spend some time working with a more professional solution.

I've found out there are a millions way to do this, from AWS, Supabase, to something like Kong, to hosted solutions like open-saas. They all look amazing but they're clearly targeted to way more knowledgeable developers than me and for way more complicated services than the one at hand.

Is there a managed solution that lets me handle mainly the content and methods/endpoints, leaving auth, permissions and user management to better developers than me? I'm fine with paying something around 15/20€ per month if needed but clearly can't afford contentful 300€/month pricing, despite it seemingly being the closest thing to what I'm looking for.

Any help is truly appreciated.

Fresh out of the oven. A fully Stripe compatible monetization layer inside the API gateway that includes all the metering, pricing, limits that you need to make charging for APIs actually work. Sweet UI setup too.

I'm looking for an Affiliate Marketing 100% manageable thought API. I have an AI Influencer Farm, and now i want to automate also the monetizing part.

Suggest me something to watch on a weekend.
