How It Works
APIs are created
API developers submit APIs, and get billing, analytics, and rate limits handled by ApiRoad.
APIs are discovered
App developers explore, test and subscribe to APIs they need, using convenient UI.
Magic happens
More high quality apps are created as a result, and everyone is happy!
ApiRoad Features
For App developers:
API Marketplace
APIs can be discovered and explored in seconds.
Quick Peek
API explorer with code generators for all popular languages.
Subscriptions
View & track your subscriptions on one page.
For API developers:
Ultimate Analytics
Great observability of requests and responses: you get fast analytics for all your APIs which makes debugging any issues a breeze. Wicked fast queries. Near-realtime stats. Based on column-based DBMS cluster, with first-class suport of good old SQL, exposed to API developers via filter widgets.
Documentation Generator
Just upload your OpenApi spec file and ApiRoad will figure out the rest.
Plans, Customer Authentication, Billing and Rate Limiting
Slick interface of dev portal, ready for mobile! Out of the box: your API just need to do its work.
Pricing Is Simple.
- App developers pay only what an API author asks for, on a chosen plan.
- API developers pay fixed 15% fee from received payouts.
Why?
We build and sell API access to customers all over the world, been doing it for some time, we also pay for many APIs ourselves, so we know a thing or two about how State of Art API Marketplaces look like in 2021. And you know what? API Marketplaces look outdated, enterprisy, and dusty.
The developer portal of the biggest and most rapid © player on the market breaks all the time, is literally unusable on mobile phone, and Chrome Lighthouse can't even finish measurement of its dashboard performance. Yikes. Their analytics reports are also really mediocre, so debugging and tracking degradations is not a very pleasant experience.
It's generally not a good idea to say bad words about competitors, especially on the frontpage of your own website... but the bar indeed got really low and it is the real reason why we decided to build ApiRoad.
We know the real pain since we are both API authors & consumers, and eating our own dogfood motivates us to do our best and focus on implementing crucial things.
ApiRoad has a small team of developers and is an early stage startup. We can't compete with big players in terms of features, but we managed to implement minimal viable product which is useful for us. Hopefully, it will be useful for you, too.
Fat Free
Since our developer man-hours are limited and we adore KISS, we make compromises and cut corners in the features we don't absolutely need.
Here is what ApiRoad does not have, and does not plan to get (in the near future):
- No complex authentication strategies. Simple revokable API tokens are good for 90% of cases so we'll try to stick to it.
- No GraphQL. We enjoy REST though it's definitely not perfect (and too loose at times). Focusing on REST endpoints allows us to provide good analytics experience.
- No own web builder of API docs and examples. OpenAPI v3 is good enough for most cases, and we enforce this standard. It does not mean API developers have to suffer so we are going to use some nice web-based OpenAPI v3 builder.
