A Win-Win Product Philosophy
Delegate repetitive tasks to machines, and keep intelligent work for humans. Do not burden API consumers with an excessive integration cost, but don’t burden your internal developers either. Let automatic code generation take care of the development workload for both sides.
The API Success Practices
APIs integration is slow and expensive, and the cost is typically paid by API consumers. However, the fastest growing APIs significantly reduce the integration cost and time by providing pre-built code in the form of SDKs and Code Samples. While SDKs and Code Samples make the consumers life very easy, maintaining pre-built code in a variety of languages is not a trivial task either. That's why a majority of API producers end up limiting their developer experience to API reference docs only. Closely looking at the successful APIs with massive developer traction, these two practices are commonly found:
1- Rapid API on-boarding via speaking the language of their consumers
Top APIs realise the diversity among their API consumers, and describe everything from simple How-Tos to intricate authentication methods in all the languages their developers love to code in.

2- Reduced API Integration time via SDKs and dynamic code samples
A huge chunk of developers time is wasted in learning how an API works, especially understanding different types of authentication schemes and writing code for them. Pre-built code reduces upto 95% of the integration development workload, and help the consumers build applications on top of an API within no time.
APIMatic shares the same philosophy of API success, and brings you both of the practices in a single product. Just bring your API specification, and follow the step-by-step journey of building a remarkable developer experience for your APIs.
A Remarkable Developer Experience, A Few Clicks Away
Define
Check your API specification is properly structured and transform it to work across the entire API management ecosystem.
Generate
Generate SDKs in the programming languages popular with developers and provide code samples to build their integration.
Publish
Share your SDKs with developers through a best-in-class developer portal and distribute SDKs automatically via popular package managers.
Automate
Integrate SDK updates into your CI/CD workflow, ensuring your SDKs are up to date and in the hands of developers within seconds.
Turn your API into a Code Playground
Let developers learn how to use start consuming your API in their favourite language. Whether they're new to REST or experienced developers, APIMatic reduces their onboarding and integration time via SDKs and Code Samples - that just work!
