The best way to document your APIs & share APIs

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Ours is a small startup; our product is still under development. We use SwaggerHub to document all our APIs. Try & execute the APIs from the console instead of using CURL or something. Always helps in checking our backend APIS calls and see how the APIs are functioning. A very handy tool.

Pros

  • The UI & easy of integration with bitbucket & other repositories.
  • It is easy to document your API using Swagger 2.0 or Open API specification.
  • You can use the "Try It Out" button and invoke API, authenticate and execute the APIs.
  • It also has ways to integrate AWS API gateway, Bitbucket, Github & other tools.
  • Helps streamline the development especially sharing APIs across multiple departments & developers.

Cons

  • It doesn't have a way to write test cases like postman has.
  • It does't have environments to configure different ENV variables like Postman has.
  • And may be having a client app for Swagger would be nice to have.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is always best to write your API specification first, using Open API 3 specification or SwaggerHub 2.0.
A clearly defined API definition will help streamline your development process & also help your QA understand all the different use cases. APIs can be individually tested with different models directly inside the SwaggerHub UI. If you plan to write test cases, SwaggerHub may not be of much help, but it does a great job at what it has. I definitely recommend SwaggerHub for API documentation, very to easy to use UI, and sharing your docs public. You can use the "Try It Out Button" to invoke API and authenticate and execute the APIs.
