What is MicroAuth?

MicroAuth turns your API into a paid product. Developers sign up on a portal with your name and logo, create API keys and pay you through Stripe. Inside your API, a small SDK checks every key, applies rate limits and quotas, and reports usage so each customer is billed for exactly what they used.

Your traffic never passes through MicroAuth. Keys are checked inside your own process from a cached copy of your customers, so there is no proxy and no extra hop on the request path.
