What does it do? I think an introduction is in order rather than expecting people to invest time in looking at an unknown website.

What language is the standard API in? If it's C (as distinct from C++ with object oriented stuff) FPC has a conversion tool which gets .h files mostly right.

Seems that RapidAPI is simply a rental marketplace for web apis. The marketplace aspect seems to be way larger than the coding side of things.

But they have a simple generator for the simplest of APIs in multiple languages, so the simplest would be to ask them to add Delphi and/or lazarus to the languages.
