Recharge

Recharge (Recharge Payments) is a subscription and recurring-billing platform for e-commerce, most widely used on Shopify. Its public REST API at https://api.rechargeapps.com lets developers manage the full subscription lifecycle - subscriptions, customers, addresses, charges, orders, products, payment methods, onetimes, discounts, and webhooks - programmatically. Requests are authenticated with a store API token in the X-Recharge-Access-Token header and versioned via the X-Recharge-Version header (supported versions 2021-11 and 2021-01). The API is resource-oriented JSON over HTTPS with cursor-based pagination and a leaky-bucket rate limiter.

Recharge publishes 10 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Addresses API, Charges API, Customers API, and 7 more. Tagged areas include Subscription, Recurring Billing, E-Commerce, Payments, and Shopify.

Recharge’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, and 9 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Payments regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/recharge-payments: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you?
