Summary

RapidAPI School is an initiative designed to provide students with valuable experience in using APIs by offering free or discounted pricing plans for some of the most popular APIs on the RapidAPI Marketplace, such as TheRundown, Zestful, and API-FOOTBALL. It is available to students currently enrolled at accredited colleges or universities, who can access the program by joining the waitlist with their ".edu" email. API providers can participate by creating custom student pricing plans with recommended restrictions to prevent accidental overages, and by contacting RapidAPI to express interest in the program. Future plans for RapidAPI School include expanding the number of APIs with student pricing, developing educational resources, and producing tutorials to enhance learning and usage of APIs among students. Suggestions for additional benefits are welcomed via email or social media.
