Hi there! I’m wondering if other developers are having trouble getting paid by RapidAPI lately. My payment seems to be stuck and it’s been longer than usual. I also can’t find some of the documentation about payment timelines that used to be available on their site. Just curious if this is happening to others or if it’s just me. Any info would be helpful!
Had the same issue with RapidAPI about six weeks back - payment delays and weird documentation problems. My payment finally went through but took almost a month past their timeline. What actually worked? Hit them from multiple angles. Don’t just do support tickets - blast their social media too. Public complaints get way faster responses. Turns out they were switching backend payment processors around that time, which explains the mess. Document everything - your expected payment dates and amounts - because their internal tracking was all over the place. Also check if your banking info needs updating in their system. That was screwing up payments for a bunch of developers I know.
RapidAPI’s payment system has been a mess since September. My payment got delayed 3 weeks last month and support kept giving me different stories each time I asked. Those documentation issues you’re seeing are real - half their payment policy pages throw errors or show outdated info. What fixed mine was updating my payout method even though nothing actually changed. Their system apparently flagged tons of accounts during some migration. Check if any verification badges got reset in your account settings. And screenshot your earnings dashboard - mine kept showing different numbers during the whole delay mess.
Same thing happened to me three weeks ago. RapidAPI’s having backend issues right now. My payment dashboard showed completed transactions that hadn’t actually gone through yet. Took 16 days to fix. The missing docs you’re seeing are probably from their system updates - tons of help pages were throwing 404s back then. Here’s what sped things up for me: check if your tax info is still valid in their system. Some profiles got flagged during their infrastructure changes and need manual review. I’d verify your account status before hitting up support since they’ll ask anyway.
API marketplace payment delays are exactly why I ditched single platforms years ago. When you’re waiting for one company to fix their payment processor, you’re screwed.
I built automated monitoring that tracks payments across multiple API platforms at once. Instead of throwing everything at RapidAPI, I spread API monetization across several marketplaces.
When one platform breaks, the system automatically hits the others and alerts me about problems. No more wondering if your payment’s stuck or just slow.
Missing documentation is a massive red flag. I’ve seen this before when platforms have serious infrastructure issues.
Latenode nails this - you can create workflows monitoring multiple API marketplaces and payment systems simultaneously. You get real visibility into what’s working versus what’s broken, plus automatic failover when things die.
Yeah, you’re not alone - tons of devs are dealing with this right now. RapidAPI’s payment system has been a mess for about 2 months. Check their status page (they don’t update it much, but worth a shot). Also try logging out and back in - sounds stupid but it fixed my dashboard when payments weren’t displaying right.
Had the same issue two months back with RapidAPI payments. Don’t just wait - hit up their support ticket system directly. That documentation thing you mentioned is weird though, I’ve seen pages redirecting strangely too. My delay was some banking verification mess on their side that dragged on for 3 weeks. Check your dashboard for any pending verifications and definitely submit a ticket with your payment info. Their support actually got back to me pretty quick once I reached out, even though waiting around was annoying as hell.
RapidAPI payment delays suck, but they happen all the time. I’ve been through this nightmare more than once.
Here’s what I figured out after dealing with tons of API integrations - don’t put all your eggs in one basket. When RapidAPI breaks, you’re screwed.
I ditched single platforms and built custom workflows that hit multiple payment processors and API providers directly. One service goes down? The system just routes around it automatically.
For payments, I set up monitoring that tracks status across different platforms and screams at me when something’s stuck. No more guessing games.
That documentation vanishing? Huge red flag. I’ve seen this before when platforms are having serious problems.
Latenode nails this because you can build workflows connecting multiple API marketplaces and payment systems at once. Plus you get actual monitoring and backup routing when stuff breaks.
