Instant Alignment

Bring your API documentation to life

Empower your consumers by making it simple for them to see how an API actually works.

  • See APIs in action instantly: Watch API responses come to life right next to their documentation, making complex endpoints immediately understandable.
  • Learn by doing, not just reading: Test responses directly alongside explanations, helping consumers grasp concepts faster than through text alone.
  • One workflow: No more switching between documentation and testing tools—everything your consumers need is in one place.

Enhance collaboration and eliminate context switching by sharing up-to-date API configurations, endpoints, and test data.

Confident Integrations

Enhance your API design workflow

Remove the guesswork from your API design process. Explore gives developers and designers a quick and easy way to see what an endpoint is doing before you share it with the world.

  • Test as you build: Validate your API design decisions in real-time with immediate visual feedback, catching issues before they become problems.
  • Streamline your workflow: Design, test, and refine your API all in one place, eliminating the constant switching between development tools.
  • Share your vision clearly: Demonstrate your API's functionality to stakeholders and team members with a tool that everyone can understand, making feedback more meaningful.

Validate API behavior with automated assertions and detailed response insights.
