Stable income: Somewhat stable

Custom API development for automation can provide a moderately stable income source for most people who try it. Based on online research and experience, while there is a decent baseline income potential, monthly earnings can be unpredictable at times due to project variability and client demand fluctuations. Overall, individuals may experience some months with similar income levels while others may be less predictable. I'd rate it a 2 out of 3 because although there is income potential, it may not be as steady as a traditional job paycheck.
