Introduction

Dhali is an API monetisation platform, using open, next generation payment technology. API users can generate their own API keys on-demand and independently of API providers. Just like regular API keys, Dhali API keys get embedded into request headers. Unlike regular API keys, Dhali API keys have direct monetary value, enabled by Blockchain technology; the API keys are off-chain payments. This approach enables a world where no registrations or subscriptions are required. Authentication is replaced with a real-time nano-payment, which gets embedded into a request header:

Why Dhali?

Everyone benefits:

  • API users:
    1. Get low costs.
    2. Get flexibility, with no need for commitments.
    3. Get access to APIs around the world, independent of their jurisdiction's banking system.
  • API creators:
    1. Increase reach through globally accessible blockchain technology.
    2. Reduce costs (checkout our pricing calculator to understand our costs).
    3. Reduce payment delays. We pay out API earnings to providers every 24 hours, rather than the typical days, weeks or even months imposed by the traditional financial system.
    4. Reduce payment failures. Our usage of next generation payment technology brings payment failure rates to zero.
    5. Flexible integration. Use Dhali as a simple reverse proxy or integrate our charging endpoint directly into your existing infrastructure.
