API design is critical to the success of software projects, and API exploration can significantly improve the quality of API designs. Regardless of teams employing a design-first or code-first approach to their delivery, the process can be more efficient when combined with API exploration tools. 

The ability to easily explore the APIs being delivered can help teams test and validate API designs more effectively, resulting in a better Developer Experience (DX) rating. By leveraging API specifications, designers can create sample requests and responses to aid testing and development activities by improving the quality of API documentation. Additionally, the produced API definitions can help ensure APIs meet governance constraints and streamline automated testing efforts. By adopting a specification-based approach and leveraging API exploration tools, API designers can deliver high-quality APIs that provide a positive DX for consumers. 

In this webinar we’ll discuss: 

  • How API exploration fits into design activities  
  • Best practice for design workflows combined with API exploration  
  • Live Q&A  
  • Demo
