"Bad quality/performance and Useless support"
What do you like best about Apilayer?

ease of implementation. the implement is very easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apilayer?

We used the fixer API (currency conversion API) from api layer and good bad performance/stability (6% of HTTP 5XX errors) and latencies that exceed 110s sometimes for one currency for one day...

We contacted the support for this issue. After one month they told us that they are continuing working on it but they made improvements (after verification, there were no evolution in our data).

After some times they told us to stop using apiLayer but use fixer directly (it's their API). We understand that the API will not work and we must take another subscription to fixer.

We took the same subscription but to the fixer API directly.

After the first tests with the exactly same usage we got errors

"Access Restricted - Your current Subscription Plan does not support this API Function."

After investigation the route that we used was available in the subscription at 14$ for ApiLayer but you need the 44$ subscription for the same feature to do it with Fixer API.

So I contacted the support to tell them that they told me to switch API and i just want the same feature that previously and they just answered "you need to upgrade your plan"...

We don't want to pay 3 times more without any guarantee of the quality of the service.

We got no solutions so we decided to switch to another API Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Most Authentic and Secure"
What do you like best about Apilayer?

APILayer is a place that lists third-party web APIs from various providers. The best part of APIlayer is that they developed it so that we can get the most relevant APIs on a given topic. Users can also publish their APIs in the marketplace of Apilayer. It is secure to use. Using APIs, we can also detect Nudity and Violence in Images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apilayer?

There are minor things, like sometimes it takes some time to integrate with the tools or applications. Also, while using currency convertors or locating IP addresses, fetching is delayed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solves complex problem"
What do you like best about Apilayer?

The range of APIs they provide, such as Spotify and sports stats. Pricing is a consideration they do provide subscriptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apilayer?

It is a bit difficult to fully grasp and make use of their APIs. The pricing structure for paid solutions was a tad high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Nasty legal threats"
What do you like best about Apilayer?

Nothing at all whatsoever but more words are required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apilayer?

Nasty clauses in their standard SaaS contract and legal threats for debt collectors following auto renew and credit card expiry. No simple way to cancel, compared to alternatives. Extortion artists, in my opinion. Stay away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best API Provider"
What do you like best about Apilayer?

I used Apilayer for so many API connectivities and it is pretty easy marketplace to buy APIs and there are a wide range of APIs available and even configuring the APIs is lot easier as they provide API key and documentation straight forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apilayer?

Support could have been better even if we have purchased some APIs through their subscription plan, I thought there should be a dedicated support where issues of the subscriber must be resolved on a priority. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Online information is very useful"
What do you like best about Apilayer?

For me, it is quite beneficial because I can develop applications with online calculations for different currencies, for my clients' exports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apilayer?

Sometimes, it takes a while to bring responses, and that makes it difficult to calculate with the fields in our forms. I don't know what that depends on, whether it's my problem or your server's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Apilayer is the best"
What do you like best about Apilayer?

A Marketplace where every single API is worth and offering a free trial with a limit that can be easily tested and can be purchased.

Excellent User experience and proper documentation for every API was provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apilayer?

Pricing can be a factor here, but as there are some very premium APIs like spotify, sports stats etc., That was the thing they didn't offer any discounts, but they are providing some customizable subscriptions, which should be considered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
