How API KISS Works

One API. Multiple providers. Consistent results. Always.

The Magic Behind the Simplicity

Your request goes through our intelligent routing layer

What makes API KISS different

Unified Response Structure

No matter which upstream provider handles your request, you always get the same consistent JSON structure.

{
  "success": true,
  "data": { ... },
  "meta": {
    "provider": "primary",
    "cached": false
  }
}

SI Units Standard

All measurements use the International System of Units. No more converting between feet and meters.

Temperature

Celsius (°C)

Distance

Meters (m)

Speed

m/s

Weight

Kilograms (kg)

Built-in Redundancy

Every service has our internal implementation as primary, with automatic failover to backup providers.

1 Try internal implementation
2 Fallback to Provider A
3 Fallback to Provider B

Transparent Credit Usage

Some requests require multiple sub-requests. We always show you exactly what you're using.

Weather lookup 1 credit
Bulk geocoding (5 addresses) 5 credits
Photo + metadata 2 credits

Free Tier First 💚

We believe in accessible APIs. Many services are completely free, and we work hard to keep them that way.

UUID Password Time IP + more

Lightning Fast

Intelligent caching and edge deployment mean blazing fast response times worldwide.

Cached response < 50ms
Fresh request < 200ms

Dead Simple Integration

One line of code. That's it.

Before Managing multiple APIs yourself
// Handle multiple weather providers
try {
  response = weatherProvider1.fetch(location);
} catch (error) {
  try {
    response = weatherProvider2.fetch(location);
  } catch (error) {
    response = weatherProvider3.fetch(location);
  }
}

// Convert units (provider uses Fahrenheit)
temp = (response.temp - 32) * 5/9;

// Normalize response structure
result = {
  temperature: temp,
  humidity: response.humid ?? response.rh,
  // ... 20 more fields
};
After Using API KISS
// That's it. Really.
response = await fetch(
  'https://apikiss.com/api/v1/weather',
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${apiKey}`
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({ location })
  }
);

// Consistent structure, SI units, always works ✓
data = await response.json();
