Apiary

Apiary is a cloud-based API design and documentation platform that helps developers create, test, and document APIs using the API Blueprint or OpenAPI specification formats. It provides tools for designing APIs collaboratively, generating interactive documentation, and mocking API endpoints to facilitate early testing and integration.

Also known as: Apiary.io, API Blueprint Editor, API Design Platform, API Mocking Tool, API Documentation Tool

Why learn Apiary?

Developers should use Apiary when designing and documenting RESTful APIs, especially in team environments where collaboration and clear communication are essential. It is particularly useful for creating API-first designs, enabling frontend and backend teams to work in parallel by providing mock servers and comprehensive documentation.
