APILayer

aid: apilayer
name: APILayer
description: APILayer is an API marketplace and hub, an Idera, Inc. brand headquartered in Vienna, Austria, that publishes
  and operates a portfolio of self-service REST data APIs alongside a gateway marketplace of third-party APIs. The house products
  cover IP geolocation (IPstack, ipapi), foreign exchange (Fixer, Currencylayer, ExchangeRate.host, Exchange Rates API), weather
  (Weatherstack), market data (Marketstack), news (Mediastack), aviation (Aviationstack), scraping and SERP (Scrapestack,
  Serpstack), and validation utilities (Numverify, Mailboxlayer, Vatlayer, Userstack, Countrylayer, Positionstack, Pdflayer,
  Screenshotlayer). One account and one dashboard cover every product, each product is keyed and billed separately, and every
  API has a free plan. APILayer publishes 22 OpenAPI documents from its own SwaggerHub organization, an llms.txt, and an OAuth-protected
  hosted MCP server.

  name: APILayer Marketplace API
  description: The APILayer marketplace gateway at api.apilayer.com fronts the third-party APIs listed on marketplace.apilayer.com
    (Bank Data, Tax Data and others) behind a single subscription. Authentication here is an `apikey` REQUEST HEADER, not
    the `access_key` query parameter the house products use, and unlike those products the gateway returns a real HTTP 401
    on an invalid credential.
