A good tool to start planning and documenting your API

What do you like best? Easy to generate and structure your API documentation. Also supporting hosting multiple APIs with share models and information. What do you dislike? The audit log is useless in finding out the changes to the document by other people. We were looking for a tool to manage and monitor the API, but Stoplight could not fit the bill here. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? To plan and document our APIs, and ...

One of the best tools for API design especially when following a API Design First approach

What do you like best? Intuitive API design GUI tool Very good support Very cost effective What do you dislike?

Great playground to coordinate API design with business and technical stakeholders

What do you like best? It is a very helpful tool to non-technical (business side) user to formulate and structure API before it will be implemented I can document business context with API technical structure and generate easy to use API documentation from it. What do you dislike? There is no way to share API documentation draft only to the limited audience. Hosted doc pricing is not reasonable for small teams if it will be used only to agree on the API structure. And the ...

Contract testing for ease of API Implementation

What do you like best? Customization of API Contract test and adding additional test is excellent. Being able to customize test through javascript is a plus. What do you dislike? The Stoplight Next desktop application bugs out when trying to open a new window. Recommendations to others considering the product: I would recommend it for small and medium sized companies who want to easily implement APIs for their products and continuously improve its features quickly. What problems ...
