Swagger Hub

What is Swagger Hub?

The platform for API design and documentation with OpenAPI

Faster, more standardized API design

• Powerful Editor for OAS Design

Create new and existing APIs in an intuitive, browser-based editor designed for a quick iteration of the Swagger/OpenAPI contract. Validate and save your design quickly, with a hassle-free editing experience for designing APIs that maximize consumer adoption.

• Define and enforce style guidelines

Ensure that all your APIs comply with your organizational design standards with built-in API Standardization. No more wiki pages, GitHub documents, or PDFs that your developers need to reference to maintain style consistency in their APIs.

• Acceleration API design with reusable components

Remove the need to continuously rewrite all repeated paths and responses when defining your API. In SwaggerHub, you can store your organization's common styles as reusable components, which can be reused in all your APIs.

Work better together

• Report and track problems

Deliberate on new ideas, highlight issues, and resolve them together through SwaggerHub comments. SwaggerHub reviews also serve as a ticketing system, which means you can always track open issues and conversations to resolve and prioritize accordingly.

• Standardize your API workflow

Remove headaches from tracking updates from different team members across multiple development platforms. Give developers the independence they want and architect the oversight they need to keep track of changes and be notified when updates are made.

• Integrate with the lifecycle of your API

From seamless synchronization between source control hosts like GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket, API implementation for APIM platforms like AWS, Azure, and IBM, and external build triggers using custom webhooks, SwaggerHub is designed for organizations to take API development to the next level.

Ease your API lifecycle

• Host API definitions

SwaggerHub acts as a real source for hosting and discovering your API definitions. Organize API definitions into an internal repository and organize APIs based on teams, projects, or other architectural considerations.

• Manage API versions

Changes to your RESTful services are inevitable, and facilitating the version of existing APIs can be an error-prone process. SwaggerHub allows you to continually update and publish new versions of APIs so that your consumers can access the right version at the right time.

• Improve oversight and governance

As your APIs evolve and changes are made, it is important to keep stakeholders aligned. SwaggerHub provides architects and API staff with the oversight they need to track changes, resolve issues, and standardize how APIs are developed internally.

• Integrate with the lifecycle of your API

Design and documentation are only parts of the larger API lifecycle, and while SwaggerHub specializes in them, it also empowers teams to seamlessly connect to other external software solutions. Whether you're deploying to API gateways, synchronizing with server-side code repositories, or connecting to test tools, SwaggerHub fits seamlessly into your existing workflow.

Hosted interactive API documentation

• Document as a professional

SwaggerHub visually renders your API contract as a fully interactive document for live functionality, letting your end consumers know exactly how your API will work and behave before integrating it into your code.

• Automatically generate OAS documentation

Are you looking to quickly start documenting your APIs with OAS on SwaggerHub? Take advantage of the integrated Swagger Inspector to generate OAS documentation from your existing APIs. In less than 3 steps, you'll have an OAS definition generated and hosted on SwaggerHub.

• Host API import and documentation

Do you have an existing OAS definition for your API? Import your existing OAS-based API for additional documentation from the web or your local file system. API definitions and their documentation are fully imported into the cloud during import, allowing your team to add advanced content and features to the API.

• Manage access in a secure environment

API documentation is only useful when an API consumer can access their documents and get the information they need to work with the API. SwaggerHub enables you to host API documentation in the cloud and provide secure access through permission control and integrated integrations with API gateways.
