StrikeIron Marketplace API Partner Program
”Start making money now with on-demand data and functionality”
Partners can start making money instantly by integrating their applications with
multiple Web services from the StrikeIron Marketplace. Our Marketplace API
allows our Web services to be seamlessly integrated on-the-fly so your customers
never have to leave your application to access new Web services.
This free API includes functionality such as registering a new user to the
Marketplace, offering free Web service trials, providing usage information, and
creating customized WSDLs for each Web service in the Marketplace for usage
tracking and determining transaction-based commissions to the partner.
And best of all, StrikeIron takes care of the Web services commercialization
infrastructure and process so Partners can focus on selling their applications.
What are StrikeIron Marketplace Web Services?
StrikeIron is the leader in Web services commercialization and providing
trusted, reliable Web services for access to real–time external data and
functionality. The StrikeIron Marketplace includes Web Services from StrikeIron
as well from many other providers. In addition to a single source and a single
usage bill, utilization of these Web services via the StrikeIron Marketplace
provides a single User ID and a consistent, normalized interface for accessing
multiple Web services from multiple vendors.
StrikeIron Marketplace Web Services cover the broadest spectrum of real-time
data sources including financial data, company data, customer contact data and
ecommerce data. They all take advantage of the commercialization features and
