Efficient API Discovery, and Utilization.API consumer involves in discovering, testing and utilizing APIs efficiently to evaluate API documentation, test with endpoints, and provide feedback to improve API usability.
Efficient API discovery
Comprehensive insights and real-time monitoring
Enhanced testing capabilities for optimal performance
Requirements and Solutions
API Discovery and Utilization
Provide browsable listings with clear abstractions
Organization-level and project-level API catalogs enable API consumers to get a quick overview of the APIs and sharable API models individually and as collections. See past revisions of the API using API history, providing insights into its evolution and potential changes.
Centralized and browsable public API catalog
Xapi’s public repository—API Hub offers centralized access to the public APIs. API Hub allows API consumers to conveniently search, discover, and utilize various APIs that meet their specific needs.
Progress Monitoring
API design progress monitoring through status-based stats
API consumers can get real-time insights into current state of API designs using API status tracking dashboard widget.
Receive API activity notifications
Stay informed about ongoing API events by receiving updates on events such as new API creations, and deprecations from notifications and the activity stream.
Feedback and Continuous Improvements
Feedback loops on APIs
Inline comments on API designs enable API consumers to share their feedback and suggest improvements directly to the team.
Application Integration with APIs
Generate code samples for supported languages
Server-generated, ready-to-use code samples provide API consumers with practical examples of how to integrate the API into their applications.
API Endpoint Testing
Enable consumer testing for API endpoints
The 'Try Out' option allows hands-on testing of each API endpoint, enabling API consumers to experiment in a controlled environment and assess functionality and requirement fit.
