24 alternatives to API 200
I frequently face numerous challenges when working with third-party APIs - error handling, logging, caching, retries, mocking, and more. I spent hours making them work, so I created an app to automate integrations. Currently, the platform offers the following functionality: - Set up services with multiple endpoints: Configure caching, retries, mocking, response transformation, and fallback responses. - Define authentication:- Real-time Swagger/OpenAPI integration: Test your endpoints directly in the browser. - Handy code snippets: Easily copy and paste requests. Feedback needed!

Apidog▲570Development teams often struggle with using multiple tools like Postman and Swagger for API design, development, and testing. This fragmented approach leads to outdated API specs and chaotic collaboration. So we built Apidog: a single, unified API platform for team collaboration. It has a beautiful interface that makes it easy to create API spec, generate request data from API spec, validate responses, create mock data, orchestrate test scenarios, and publish API documentation. Apidog = Postman + Swagger + Mock + JMeter.

Hi, this is Mish and Sebastian. We are working on Step CI - a fully automated API testing platform for developers. Step CI works programming-language independent and for different API paradigms (REST, GraphQL, XML). Our CLI and test runner are available on GitHub (https://github.com/stepci) under the MPLv2 license. Since our last launch, Step CI is now able to generate automated tests for your API based on your OpenAPI (Swagger) spec. This saves you a lot of time as you never have to write and maintain your tests again! We would like to invite you to try our tool and give us…

Hey there HN! I just wrapped up an all-day documentation spree for Instant API, a JavaScript framework for easily building web APIs that implements type safety at the HTTP interface. It uses a function-as-a-service approach combined with a slightly modified JSDoc spec to automatically enforce parameter and schema validation before HTTP requests make it through to your code. You just write comments above your endpoint functions and voila, enforced type safety contracts between your API endpoints and your developers. OpenAPI specifications are generated automatically as a byproduct of simply…

Hey HN! We've developed OpenAPI AutoSpec, a tool for automatically generating OpenAPI specifications from localhost network traffic. It’s designed to simplify the creation of API documentation by just using your website or service, especially useful when you're pressed for time. Documenting endpoints one by one sucks. This project originated from us needing it at our past jobs when building 3rd-party integrations. It acts as a local server proxy that listens to your application’s HTTP traffic and automatically translates this into OpenAPI 3.0 specs, documenting endpoints, requests, and…

tl;dr we released openapi.security, an online tool that performs a dozen of security tests on any given openapi/swagger-based API, with no signup or email required. You can try it here: https://openapi.security My team at Escape (YC W23) is mainly focused on securing GraphQL APIs. For this, we developed a new approach called Feedback driven API Exploration. Basically, we infer the right security tests cases to run using the specification and a carefully crafted in house graph traversal algorithm. (It's a bit long to describe here but we published a more in depth explanation of…

Hey HN, we’ve been working on a way to simplify authentication with third-party APIs. This started because my co-founder andreterron (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=andreterron) and I both built personal dashboards to track different health and productivity metrics, but it’s such an annoying chore to integrate with new APIs. First you read their docs to learn their authentication method, then build and deploy a custom server to receive OAuth callback requests or deal with CORS, register an app with them, then finally you can send the first request to their API. After the…

https://github.com/lazywithclass/swaggins It works by looking at the request and extracting the relevant information to populate the Swagger JSON file. I've wrote it to go with contract testing (http://martinfowler.com/articles/microservice-testing/#testing-contract-introduction), but it can also work with normal HTTP based integration tests. Any suggestion / opinion is welcome.

Hey HN, Sagiv from liblab is here. We've been deep in the world of API tooling for years at liblab, primarily focusing on generating SDKs and documentation from OpenAPI specs. Recently, we kept running into a recurring frustration: connecting AI tools to existing APIs is way more complex than it should be. You start with a simple goal – let an LLM talk to your API – and suddenly you're neck-deep in spinning up infrastructure, wrestling with authentication, and writing a ton of custom glue code just to translate natural language into structured API calls. Then you have to maintain it all. To…
