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 2023. And you know what? API Marketplaces look a bit outdated, enterprisy, and dusty.
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 bells&whistles, but we managed to launch a product which is already immensely 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 proprietary API web builder. 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 launch a nice web-based OpenAPI v3 builder (soon).
