Marketplace
What is the Spartera Marketplace?
The Spartera Marketplace is a public platform where you can list
your analytic assets and data endpoints for sale. Buyers can
discover, preview, and purchase products that match their needs
through the Spartera interface.
What's the difference between an Asset and an Endpoint?
The two product types are distinguished by the shape of the
response. Assets return a single insight — either a calculated
value (a number, a string, a percentage) or a chart/visualization.
Endpoints return rowset data like a normal REST API,
paginated and JSON-formatted.
If a buyer asks "what's the average?" the answer is a single
number — that's an asset. If they ask "give me the rows," that's
an endpoint.
Why should I list my analytics in the marketplace?
Listing in the marketplace provides maximum exposure for your
analytics, allowing you to reach a broader audience and monetize
your expertise. You retain full ownership of your IP while earning
revenue from buyer credits.
How do I list analytics in the marketplace?
First, your company admin needs to connect a Stripe account so we
can pay you. Once Stripe is verified, make your assets or endpoints
available for public marketplace listing through the platform's
distribution settings. Ensure your products meet quality standards
and include proper documentation for potential buyers. See
Connecting Stripe for Payouts.
Why do I need to connect Stripe?
Stripe handles the parts of paying sellers that we can't do
directly: identity verification, tax info collection, and bank
account setup. It's a one-time setup, takes about 3 minutes, and
is required by US financial regulations for any platform that pays
sellers. We never see or store your bank details — Stripe does
that for us. See Connecting Stripe for Payouts
for the full setup guide.
How should I price my products in the marketplace?
You have full control over pricing your products. Assets are
typically priced higher per unit because each execution is a
discrete insight. Endpoints are typically priced lower per unit
because customers will make many requests when integrating your
data into their app or pipeline. Set prices based on the value
your product provides, market demand, and competitive positioning.
How does marketplace revenue sharing work?
You earn revenue from buyer credits every time your asset is
executed or your endpoint is called. The platform handles payment
processing, and you receive 80% of every transaction. API calls by
marketplace buyers do not count towards your API limit.
Are buyers charged for failed requests?
No. Buyers are never charged credits for failed asset executions
or endpoint requests. If a request fails for any reason — bad
input, seller-side database error, platform error — no credits
are deducted from the buyer.
How do API keys work for marketplace endpoints?
When a buyer fetches data from your endpoint via the marketplace
for the first time, Spartera auto-provisions an API key scoped
to their company and your endpoint. The buyer can use that key
inside the marketplace UI or copy it out to call the endpoint
from their own apps, agents, or scripts. Each buyer's company
gets their own unique key for that endpoint, so usage and
revocation are scoped per-customer. See
API Keys for details.
What if I want to stop selling temporarily?
Don't disconnect Stripe — that pulls all your products from the
marketplace immediately and freezes payouts. Instead, toggle
sell_in_marketplace off on your individual products. Existing
sales history is preserved either way, but deactivating products
keeps your Stripe payouts flowing for past earnings.
What are the quality standards for marketplace listings?
Products should be well-documented, properly tested, and provide
clear value to buyers. Include comprehensive metadata, usage
instructions, and ensure reliable performance before listing.
How can I promote my marketplace products?
Use proper tagging, detailed descriptions, and compelling previews
to make your products discoverable. Consider your product naming,
categorization, and documentation to attract the right buyers.
For endpoints, the optional Top Questions field also drives
search relevance.
