I am currently making a bitcointalk API for bounty managers.

Almost all of the features that a bounty hunter needs will be added like user posts (detailed), post date, post location, etc.

How much do you think I should charge users per thousand api calls?

It could be good project tho, bounty hunters really need good kinda project. Maybe for the payment you can compare it with another project, because sometimes the bounty hunter doesn't want to join your project if the payment is too low. So goodluck for your project tho.

You're a bit unclear on the second line but I'm guessing, you meant "bounty manager".

IIRC, few users tried to do the same thing but never succeeded (in making bounty managers using it since it doesn't cover everything [it can't check the quality of each post, when it comes to signature campaigns]), so charging for something that they still need to do some steps manually, might not be the best option.

Well, you can see the post path and the post itself. Which would drastically decrease the time it would take to review the posts.

I don't think you can totally eliminate the need for a human to actually read the posts (or a sampling of the posts) to determine if they are good quality.

Maybe you could partner with someone who is happy to hire and manage a group of people who get paid to read and rate posts all day, so that the bounty manager wouldn't even have to do that. Your API could spit all the posts in one place sorted by author for the quality control person to read.

I think if you managed to package up all the components together so that from the bounty manager's point of view, he can set it and forget it, you'll have a really great product.

I would have no idea how much to charge for something like that, but I guess you could start by making sure your base expenses are covered and you make some profit.

BTW, there might be other people besides bounty managers who might find a use for such an API. I know personally, I'd love an app that would allow me to read BitcoinTalk posts on my phone. I imagine an app is basically a fancy looking set of API calls to a site, right?
