Developer-First API Infrastructure
Ship secure REST APIs in minutes, not weeks
Built-in authentication, intelligent rate limiting, and auto-generated OpenAPI docs. Everything you need to build, secure, and scale production-ready APIs.
Trusted by development teams worldwide
Everything you need to build production APIs
Secure your APIs with OAuth 2.0, API keys, and JWT tokens out of the box. Role-based access control and scopes let you define exactly who can access what. No third-party auth service required.
Protect your infrastructure with flexible rate limits per endpoint, user, or API key. Configure sliding windows, token buckets, or custom algorithms. Real-time monitoring shows you exactly who's hitting what limits.
Auto-generated interactive docs that stay in sync with your code. Try endpoints directly in the browser, see request and response examples, and export to Postman or Insomnia. Your API documentation writes itself.
Integrate in any language
curl -X GET https://api.example.com/v1/users \ -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" # Response: 200 OK { "users": [ {"id": 1, "name": "Alice"}, {"id": 2, "name": "Bob"} ] }const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/v1/users', { method: 'GET', headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY', 'Content-Type': 'application/json' } }); const data = await response.json(); console.log(data.users);import requests headers = { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY', 'Content-Type': 'application/json' } response = requests.get( 'https://api.example.com/v1/users', headers=headers ) users = response.json()['users']require 'net/http' require 'json' uri = URI('https://api.example.com/v1/users') request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri) request['Authorization'] = 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' request['Content-Type'] = 'application/json' response = Net::HTTP.start(uri.hostname, uri.port, use_ssl: true) do |http| http.request(request) end users = JSON.parse(response.body)['users']package main import ( "fmt" "io" "net/http" ) func main() { client := &http.Client{} req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", "https://api.example.com/v1/users", nil) req.Header.Add("Authorization", "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY") req.Header.Add("Content-Type", "application/json") resp, _ := client.Do(req) defer resp.Body.Close() body, _ := io.ReadAll(resp.Body) fmt.Println(string(body)) }<?php $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://api.example.com/v1/users'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, [ 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY', 'Content-Type: application/json' ]); $response = curl_exec($ch); $users = json_decode($response, true)['users']; curl_close($ch); ?>Works seamlessly with your existing stack
Not just another API tool — here's how API Platform integrates with the services you already depend on.
Datadog
Every API call, rate limit hit, and auth failure streams directly to your observability dashboard with zero config.
Stripe
Usage-based billing syncs automatically — your customers get invoiced for exactly what they consume through your API.
GitHub
OpenAPI specs commit on every deploy, so your documentation PRs stay in the same workflow as your code.
Slack
Rate limit violations and auth anomalies ping your team channel instantly, before they become incidents.
PagerDuty
API downtime or SLA breaches trigger alerts with full context — no manual threshold configuration needed.
Postman
One-click export of your entire API collection with auth pre-configured, so your team can test immediately.
Deep dive
Rate limits that adapt to your traffic
Define tiered limits by endpoint, API key, or user — then watch the platform enforce them in real time. Burst allowances absorb spikes without dropping legitimate requests, and the dashboard shows exactly who hit which threshold and when. No guesswork, no surprise overages, no angry customers.
- 1Per-endpoint rules let you protect expensive operations separately
- 2Burst tokens absorb traffic spikes without rejecting valid calls
- 3Real-time counter shows remaining quota before the next reset
- 4Automatic 429 responses include Retry-After headers for client backoff

What developers are saying
We switched from a homegrown solution and cut our auth-related support tickets by 80% in the first month. The OpenAPI docs are so clear that our partners onboard themselves.
Rate limiting used to be a nightmare of Redis scripts and manual overrides. Now it's three dropdowns and a slider. Our API hasn't gone down since we migrated.
The interactive docs let our customers test endpoints with their own keys before writing a single line of code. That alone justified the switch.
