API platforms encompass software tools and integrations designed to assist development teams in managing the entire API lifecycle. These solutions offer comprehensive functionality for API design, management, and governance. API design software enables users to plan, create, and modify APIs within a secure development environment. These tools support the pre-production phase of API management by allowing developers to brainstorm, establish design guidelines, and build APIs all in one dashboard. On the other hand, API management software facilitates the monitoring, control, and monetization of APIs within a secure development setting. These tools help administrators oversee connection consistency, traffic, errors, and security for their team’s deployed APIs. Additionally, some API platforms feature API marketplaces, allowing developers to list and monetize their APIs. An API platform can be offered as a single comprehensive product or as a suite of integrated products.
