The best OAS tool I've found

What do you like best? Stoplight is becoming an essential tool for us as we develop our API's. Stoplight makes designing and creating Swagger / OAS definition files really easy. What do you dislike? The UI of "next" version is a bit hard to get used to. It would be nice if I could group endpoints together when I am designing them like was possible in the previous version. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Stoplight helps us design our ...

Easy to use and efficient

What do you like best? How simple it is to navigate the interface. Able to quickly add documents and push to production. Stoplight allows me to reference a new document to replace existing content. This makes it particularly helpful with version control. What do you dislike? Hard to add media such as images. Often find it difficult to keep media organized in one location. Also difficult to update images without having to update it in various locations. Recommendations to others ...

NWEA Using Stoplight

What do you like best? The Ui makes it east to edit API's. Previously we were editing API specs via yaml files. What do you dislike? Poor integration with source control. Keeping the spec up to date is a manual process. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Managing API contracts

API Management is no longer a chore

What do you like best? The way that we can easily design our rest API, declaring our ressources and models, and mock this API via prism What do you dislike? Minor interfaces bug and refresh, we can't reorder scenario without going into scenario settings Maybe an API to get the swagger with a trigger on a change, in order to automatize the generation of controller in our backend when a change is made on the stoplight GraphQL implementation would be a big plus too Prism ...

Setting up the integration took some time to iron out the kinks What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Stoplight is actually pretty great

What do you like best? The easy to use and functional Open API editing tool that really makes it simple to create a detailed and comprehensive API. What do you dislike? The Save and Commit features are great but need the extra layer of git functionality that you get with branches and pull requests to control changes. I'd say that's a major missing feature. Recommendations to others considering the product: Use it. There's a lot of great functionality and more on the way. What ...

Wonderful product to use to define our API. Great doc experience for our customer base!

What do you like best? 1. We love how the API documentation is presented to our customers. It's a crisp clean interface that allows them to view, navigate and test our API with ease. For this alone, I wouldn't trade it for the world. 2. Very simple to deploy new changes What do you dislike? 1. It's been hard to implement its usage across our entire organization. Difficult user interface with high room for failure. Mistakes are easily corrected. 2. As we teach Stoplight ...

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? - Massively accelerates development, as it makes it so much faster for API developers to ...
