- Better API management: Allows for centralized control over API access, usage, and documentation.
- Potential for monetization: Can be used to package and sell API access.
For Developers
- Simplified API discovery: Easily find the APIs they need in a centralized location.
- Faster integration: Access to comprehensive documentation and testing tools speeds up the integration process.
- Increased productivity: Streamlines development workflows by providing quick access to necessary information and reducing the time spent on research and integration.
- Access to a community: Connects with other developers, share knowledge, and get support.
