While providing API documentation and SDKs with your API makes developer onboarding faster, it can be a challenge to keep up when your API is constantly evolving. You need to manually publish the documentation or SDKs on every API update, which can be a time consuming and repetitive task, prone to delays in releases. To […]
You create a great API and invest resources, time, and energy into it, but it turns out it’s not being adopted as much as you had anticipated. While your first instinct might be to investigate the API, there could be other factors at play here.. For starters, is your API documentation in-sync with the API? […]
Your mobile/Android application can talk to any API with the low-code approach through client SDKs. Client SDKs are independent internal libraries for your application that focus on the end-to-end flow for an API. They cut down the manual process of writing a whole client and related components, providing you with the best developer experience, and […]
Unsurprisingly, the pandemic-ridden era has fueled the rise of APIs in the world. What is more interesting, however, is that with the rise of APIs, a rise in the number of API specification documents has been observed as well. It leads us to believe that more people are adapting to the design-first approach for building […]
About 2 years ago, our lives changed overnight as the Covid-19 pandemic gripped the world. Now, as nearly everyone has received their vaccination shots, life has started to regain some normalcy. Schools have re-opened, meals can be enjoyed together and companies are slowly seeing employees back in the office. At APIMatic, we had moved to […]
Working in an on-premise production environment containing containerized applications for the APIs requires maintaining and managing all the solutions within it amid strict security and availability requirements. This is the reason why setting up containerized images causes a lot of nuisance. Hence, to enable users to run applications on diverse sets of infrastructures on-premises: the […]
The API community seems to have settled upon one ground rule: give the developers what they want, and then some more. Yay for the external developers (the API users), nay for the internal developers (the API developers). The exponential growth in APIs and the consequent competition between the API providers warrant the need for maximum […]
How can you reduce client onboarding of your API so that the API user quickly gets to their first “Hello World”? One definitive way is to provide an SDK for a developer’s technology stack so that they can easily integrate your APIs onto their native platforms. By providing an SDK, it becomes much simpler for […]
APIs act as a bridge to multiple tiers in distributed software systems. However, reflecting the changes of fast-evolving APIs among these connected tiers is a huge drain in productivity, and increases the time to market. This means that your software tiers must always remain in sync, and in an ideal world also minimize the redundancy […]
