Ask HN: Which JavaScript lib for metering APIs should I use?

#1

Post by superphil0 » Tue, Feb 06, 2024, 6:19 PM UTC

Currently building out an API that will be billed on a per-request basis. I don't want to reinvent the wheel, I could use stripe, paddle.io or chargebee for charging, but I was wondering if there are any good express plugins that would make my life easier. Any experiences would be appreciated
