APIMatic

APIMatic is a developer experience platform that, according to the vendor, simplifies the process of building and maintaining software development kits (SDKs) for APIs. It is targeted at companies of all sizes, from startups to large enterprises, and is used by various professions and industries, including software developers, API product managers, API architects, technical writers, API documentation managers, API integration teams, DevOps engineers, and those in the fintech and open banking sectors.

Key Features

Easiest way to build & maintain SDKs for your API: APIMatic provides an interface for defining API specifications and generating SDKs in multiple programming languages. It aims to reduce the time and effort required for developers to integrate APIs by providing pre-built code, code samples, and documentation.

360° Developer Experience Coverage: APIMatic covers the entire developer experience, offering features such as SDK generation, documentation, code samples, and an API playground. It aims to reduce onboarding and integration time by providing comprehensive resources in preferred programming languages.

SDKs beyond API Wrappers: APIMatic's SDKs go beyond simple API wrappers, adding additional layers of functionality and developer experience. They include features such as timeouts, caching, retries, and error handling, enabling developers to build robust and reliable integrations.

Code Samples beyond HTTP Snippets: APIMatic generates production-ready, idiomatic code samples compatible with the generated SDKs. These interactive and runnable code samples allow developers to easily understand and test API calls in their preferred programming language.

Stay Ahead of the Curve: APIMatic keeps SDKs updated for the latest language versions and dependency updates, enabling developers to leverage the latest features without manual updates.

Poetry, but for API Calls: APIMatic generates SDKs that encapsulate the complexity of REST calls into an easy-to-use library. According to the vendor, calling the API through the SDK feels like calling any other method, abstracting away the details of the underlying HTTP requests.

Precision Made by Machines: According to the vendor, APIMatic's generated SDKs compete with handwritten SDKs in terms of code quality and cleanliness. They follow best practices, include linters, solid design, and test coverage, and aim to provide a high-quality developer experience.

Auto-Fixing Magic: APIMatic resolves OpenAPI specification issues with a click, fixing silent issues in API definitions efficiently. According to the vendor, it saves time and effort by resolving common API issues and maintaining consistent standards.

Support for Multi-File API Definition and Merge-Aware Validation: APIMatic helps organize API definitions across multiple files and offers merge-aware validation for combining multiple API definitions into one.

Streamlined Workflow: APIMatic facilitates transforming refined API definitions between formats and enables direct export to its dashboard for code generation and portal creation.
