Last week, we wrapped our API Developer Experience Meetup in San Francisco. Special thanks to Ashish Shubham from ThoughtSpot for sharing how to provide a good developer experience for SDKs, and to Joyce Lin for having us over at the new Postman office. The meetup included two talks from Adeel Ali, co-founder of APIMatic, and […]
In this API-centric era, you need to provide more than just an API. Providing a great developer experience with your API is the key to bridging a connection between a developer and an API provider. Offering a seamless developer experience for your API means that a developer can focus on what is important without dealing […]
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 […]
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 […]
Auckland, NZ – December 14, 2021: APIMatic has performed a detailed analysis of their Java SDKs and confirms that they do not contain direct Log4j v2 dependency, making the SDKs safe from the new zero-day vulnerability, CVE-2021-44228, also called as Log4Shell. Log4j >= version 2.0 has become a global security threat as it allows attackers […]
What’s it like to call your API? Developers want to use your API to accomplish something, and you want to make it as easy as possible for them to incorporate your service. To allow developers to call your API directly from any technology, your docs provide DIY instructions. To go a step further and give […]
In this API-driven era, offering just an API won’t cut it anymore. The APIs need proper documentation, helping code samples, and SDKs to ensure that the end-user quickly gets to the first Hello World. While an SDK is a “make-it-or-break-it” deal for your API, it is just as difficult to get it right. Engineering […]
With organizations going increasingly digital, it has become challenging for API providers to maintain API visibility amongst a plethora of APIs and ensure faster API adoption. This is where developer experience pivots the developer’s decision in your API’s favor. Keeping this challenge in mind, APIMatic has undergone numerous updates to get you the most out […]
