If millions of requests per hour (~300 rps), then entry-level servers will be fine, maybe single Intel Xeon + 8GB RAM.
If it's an API-balancing server, Gigabit Ethernet is fine. If it's a file download server with ~300rps, maybe choose 10Gbps network card.

One more question: If it's a file download server with ~300rps why to choose a 10Gbps network card? I thought the traffic is distributed between the different servers. – Barmi Oct 19 '16 at 09:40
