API Commons Tools

Browser-first, backend-free tools for working with the APIs you produce and consume. Everything runs locally in your browser — your tokens and data never leave it. Part of the APIs.io network.

API Discovery

discovery.apicommons.org

A browser-first registry for API artifacts. Search APIs.io and code across GitHub / GitLab / Bitbucket, keep a provenance pointer back to where you found each one, save locally, and commit or open a PR to git with your own token. Edit with Monaco, then roll everything into a single APIs.json 0.21 index.

Launch tool ↗ GitHub

API Documentation

documentation.apicommons.org

Standalone documentation for any APIs.json — rich HTML docs for every API, property, and inline artifact, with OpenAPI rendered as a full reference and Arazzo workflows as step-by-step timelines. Zip the viewer up next to an apis.json, bundle both into a single portable HTML file, or document any APIs.json by URL. Supports every version, 0.11 through 0.21.

API Reusability

reusability.apicommons.org

Assess how reusable the APIs across your organization really are. Discover evidence of APIs from APIs.io, code search, HAR uploads, and gateways; index them as OpenAPI in an APIs.json inventory; then score reusability and duplication — rolled up by org, team, or business domain.

Launch tool ↗ GitHub

All three tools speak APIs.json and the API Commons building blocks, so what you discover, inventory, assess, and document in one is portable to the others — and to the rest of the APIs.io network. Open source and free to fork; API Evangelist offers expert services when you want help.
