What is an API Marketplace?

The attraction of using a marketplace is one of simplicity. Developers can come to one place for the majority of their needs as an API consumer. This attraction is piqued with added-value features like webhook aggregation (as recently released by RapidAPI), integrated API onboarding, centralized support, and issue tracking. By using these features developers only need to do one integration across many API providers.
