Apiary Reviews

Apiary supports both Swagger and Blueprint, enabling easy collaboration between technical and non-technical teams. It offers GitHub integration for seamless version management and mock endpoint generation for testing. The tool allows configuration for rule checks, documentation from multiple perspectives, object reuse, and simplified enumeration addition. Authentication and role-based access are supported, enhancing communication development. Users appreciate its performance and flexibility, facilitating the handling of numerous viewpoints within a single platform.

• "The feature I find most valuable is that it offers authentication and allows us to develop communication points."
• "This solution has allowed us to standardize API definitions and bring consistency into our shared components, reducing the effort and cost of using functionality across domains within the organization, with Apiary being crucial to our good API strategy."
• "Vey high - very easy API design with no setup effort"

Apiary requires enhancement in Swagger integration and clearer validation messages. Users desire improved autocomplete, especially for open API syntax, and built-in support for downloading Swagger definitions. Offline documentation options are sought after for better convenience. Access to portals should be more intuitive while delivery patches need frequent updates.

• "I don't think this solution is very stable so we try to manage stability from our side."
• "I would like an integrated option to download a Swagger version of the definition."
• "Validation messages could be a bit clearer."
