What apps do you use for API development?


I’ve been a developer at a couple large companies and have noticed that a lot of my job has just been creating/exposing apis to various different organizations throughout the company. I feel like a lot of the api development process could be automated. Does anyone else feel this way? I’m also curious to know if there any existing solutions to this in the market

Postman or Insomnia for developing APIs, then try to stick to the OpenAPI specification which will allow using a whole ecosystem of tools https://openapi.tools/ From code generators, documention generators, testing and validation tools.

(OpenAPI used to be called swagger, some tools still use the old name)
