Set the Standards, Stay Ahead: Introducing SmartBear API Hub 

Creating APIs isn’t just about writing code – it’s about collaboration, governance, and delivering seamless experiences that empower teams and businesses alike. As businesses scale and software ecosystems expand, API complexity grows – introducing challenges in governance, security, and visibility. To stay competitive, teams need a unified, developer-friendly solution that ensures APIs are high-quality, discoverable, and secure from day one. 

That’s why we built SmartBear API Hub – a fully integrated API development, testing, and governance solution designed to help teams streamline API delivery, drive adoption, and maintain security at scale. 

Staying Ahead in the Changing API Landscape

The API economy is booming, with 93% of enterprises relying on APIs by 2025. This rapid adoption is driven by: 

• The shift to API-first development, requiring strong governance. 

• The rise of AI-powered applications, increasing API usage and demand. 

• The need for faster, more efficient API delivery in DevOps pipelines. 

But with this growth comes new challenges: 

Security Risks Are Surging 

• 51% of APIs lack authentication, exposing businesses to cyber threats. 

• Zombie APIs (undocumented and unmanaged endpoints) increase attack surfaces. 

• Malicious bots account for 30% of internet traffic, targeting APIs for exploitation. 

Complexity is Skyrocketing 

• Teams manage multiple API styles (REST, GraphQL, gRPC, SOAP) with different governance needs. 

• Distributed teams create silos in API development and documentation. 

• Multi-gateway environments make API visibility and standardization difficult. 

APIs Are Business-Critical – But Hard to Scale 

• API discoverability is a challenge, limiting reuse and increasing duplication. 

• Poor documentation leads to frustration, slowing adoption. 

• Lack of testing and governance results in inconsistent, insecure APIs. 

What is SmartBear API Hub? 

SmartBear API Hub is a unified API development solution that brings together design, testing, governance, and documentation into a single, integrated experience. 

Built for API developers, architects, product managers, and QA teams, API Hub simplifies workflows, enhances collaboration, and ensures security and quality at scale.
