Apidog

Apidog is a platform that handles the complete process of creating and managing APIs. You can design your API structure, test how it works, create clear documentation, and share it with your team, all from one application.

The platform follows a design-first approach, which means you plan your API before writing code. This helps catch problems early and keeps everyone on the same page. It automatically creates mock servers so front-end developers can start working before the back-end is ready.

There is a free version that works great for small teams and individual developers. Paid plans add more features like unlimited projects, advanced testing tools, and priority support for growing businesses.

Getting started with Apidog is straightforward. Here are the main steps:

• Create your first API: Open Apidog and click the plus button to create a new endpoint. Define the request method, path, and parameters using the visual editor.

• Design with JSON Schema: Use the built-in JSON Schema support to describe your request and response data. The interface makes this easy even if you're not familiar with the format.

• Test your API: Click the send button to test your endpoint. Apidog validates the response against your design automatically, catching any differences.

• Generate documentation: Your API documentation is created automatically as you design. Click "Share Docs" to publish it online with interactive testing features.

• Set up mock servers: Enable the mock feature to generate realistic test data based on your design. This helps frontend teams work independently.
