Magnify your API’s visibility by building an all-in-one, no-code developer experience portal containing language-specific API documentation, dynamic code samples, live authenticated API calls in a real-time API playground, downloadable SDKs in all languages, and more.
Help developers quickly consume your API via easy-to-navigate and auto-generated API documentation for each parameter in each endpoint and data models and error codes – in all supported languages.
Reduce the developers’ time in setting up their environments via tailored getting-started guides containing screenshots for each IDE and code samples to get them started instantly.
Give control of your API to the developers by hosting SDKs for your API in every language. The SDKs hosted on the portal are standards-compliant, downloadable directly from the portal, or can be published on GitHub or as packages.
The SDKs take care of all communication code , exception handling, connection retries, logging, caching, and more.
Minimize the time to “Hello World” as developers test and try language-idiomatic code samples directly in the API Playground and copy-paste that code into their IDEs.
Make live, authenticated API calls and watch how your API behaves for any input parameters that are validated on run-time.
Give developers the ability to test run your API without even having to code.
Educate developers about your API and any related behaviors by adding unlimited custom Markdown guides through the docs editor in the portal.
Customize the portal’s theme to match your brand’s and documentation settings via the portal editor.
Provide API definition export in more than 10 API specification formats, without you having to rewrite them again in all formats. Supported formats include OpenAPI 3.0, RAML, Postman, API Blueprint, and WSDL.
Host your portal on a dedicated subdomain of your choice or a custom domain with complete features including Getting Started Guides, Reference Docs, Language Specific Docs, SDKs, Code Samples, etc. Host the portal on a dedicated subdomain of your choosing.
Generate what you are missing and embed it on your current website/portals/UI:
Customize the portal as you need on the backend, and generate a code snippet to embed it on your existing UI. All without putting in any extra effort.
Streamline the authentication process against each endpoint in your API Portal via assisted authentication that takes care of the to-and-fro of obtaining auth codes and access tokens. Your consumers can straightaway proceed to try out the API as many times as they want by providing the credentials once, dramatically reducing the time for onboarding.
In this blog, we will discuss how code samples help contribute towards an outstanding developer experience. We will discuss in detail what makes good samples, the different styles of samples, and how samples gel in with documentation and other elements to form a formidable developer experience.
