Good team based API builder/sharing tool

What do you like best? The simplicity when sharing API specs with coworkers and allowing all of users to change those specs. The generated documentation is another positive feature. Finally the fact that we can still edit the code spec directly when in some cases where we can just copy from another location. What do you dislike? Hard to use versioning. A killer feature would be change history, even if just locally. Recommendations to others considering the product: Be patient ...

Stoplight makes documenting any REST API a lot easier.

What do you like best? Stoplight's rich set of features allows for editing by means of a GUI as well as integration in a GitHub-driven process (as in our case. The docs look a lot cleaner than before and the HTTP request maker gives our docs a component of interactivity. Also, the support team has been really helpful so far. What do you dislike? Nothing really to be disliked comes to mind, but of course, Stoplight being a work in progress, there are some features that are not quite ...

Excellent API documentation for our platform

What do you like best? The ability for us to quickly build out our internal API documentation for developer consumption. What do you dislike? Sometimes the UI can be slightly buggy (especially when adding nested pages). What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? We now have an efficient and reliable method of distributing API documentation throughout our development team.

Friendly GUI for API first developement

What do you like best? As a Technical writer I need a friendly tool, with an easy-to-use interface so I can better collaborate with the development teams in the development and review of the documentation of our APIs. Its integration with Git allows teams to collaborative in a coordinated way. What do you dislike? Stoplight seems to be an immature tool yet, so now and them I stumble upon errors, or I miss things that I think should be there already. For example, I’ve noticed than when ...
